Panduit UTP28SP50BU 50ft Cat6 Cable

Overview

The Panduit UTP28SP50BU is a 50-foot Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, designed with 28 AWG conductors and a CM-rated LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket. This cable is engineered for high-performance data transmission, ensuring reliable connectivity in demanding network environments such as data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise networking infrastructure. Its construction supports 1 Gbps data rates and up to 250 MHz bandwidth, meeting the stringent requirements for modern network applications.

Compatibility

This Panduit UTP28SP50BU cable is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and network devices. It is suitable for use with any network switch, router, server, or endpoint device that supports Category 6 or higher cabling standards, including TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801. Its unshielded construction makes it ideal for environments where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is not a primary concern, and its LSZH jacket is beneficial for installations requiring reduced smoke and flame propagation characteristics.

Installation Notes

The 28 AWG conductor gauge provides a smaller diameter, allowing for easier cable management in high-density environments. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates suitability for general-purpose horizontal cabling in non-plenum spaces. The LSZH jacket minimizes the release of toxic and corrosive gases when exposed to fire, enhancing safety in enclosed spaces. Ensure proper termination techniques are followed to maintain signal integrity and meet TIA-568-C.2 standards.
