Panduit UTP28SP3MBL Cat 6 Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28SP3MBL is a 3-meter (9.8 ft) Cat 6 UTP patch cord designed for high-density network environments. Its 28 AWG stranded CM/LSZH cable construction offers a reduced diameter (0.150-inch / 3.8mm) for easier cable management and routing in tight spaces. This patch cord supports up to 10GBASE-T Ethernet and is rated for PoE++ (802.3bt), ensuring reliable power delivery for high-demand devices like Wi-Fi 6 access points or PTZ cameras.

Compatibility

This patch cord is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 standards, ensuring compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBASE-T networks across limited distances. It is wired to T568A and T568B schemes, making it compatible with virtually all standard Ethernet networking equipment, including switches, routers, and network interface cards. The 28 AWG construction is specifically suited for shorter runs common in data closets and patch panel connections.

Installation Notes

The tangle-free latch on the modular plugs prevents snags during installation and ensures a secure, fast release, streamlining moves, adds, and changes. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes facilitate simple port mapping with compatible RapidID software, reducing troubleshooting time and errors. The CM/LSZH rating ensures compliance with flammability standards for use in plenum spaces where required.
