Description

Panduit UTP28X5BU Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X5BU is a 5-foot, 28 AWG Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-density data center environments. Its compact 0.185-inch diameter simplifies cable management, while the CM/LSZH rating ensures compliance with flammability standards. This cord supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet and advanced Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it suitable for connecting servers, switches, and network devices where performance and reliability are critical.

Compatibility

This Panduit UTP28X5BU patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA requirements up to 500 MHz. It is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3af/at PoE applications, and specifically supports IEEE 802.3bt type 3 and type 4 PoE, allowing up to 24 cables in a bundle for high-power delivery. It is suitable for data center I/O consolidation, server virtualization, backbone aggregation, and high-speed computing deployments.

Installation Notes

Constructed with 28 AWG solid conductors and high-performance modular plugs, the UTP28X5BU features a tangle-free latch that prevents snags and ensures a fast release, streamlining moves, adds, and changes. The integrated patented tangle-free latch provides a secure connection without requiring tools for release. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes on the cable facilitate simple port mapping when used with compatible RapidID software.
