Panduit 5M CAT 6A 28AWG UTP PATCH CORD CM/LSZH BLUE NC/NR - UTP28X5MBU

Panduit UTP28X5MBU 5M CAT 6A 28AWG UTP PATCH CORD CM/LSZH BLUE NC/NR

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X5MBU is a 5-meter, Category 6A, 28AWG Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data network connections. Its CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rating makes it suitable for installation in plenum spaces where fire safety and low smoke emission are critical. This cable ensures reliable connectivity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, supporting data rates up to 10 Gbps and bandwidth up to 500 MHz, making it ideal for demanding network infrastructure deployments.

Compatibility

This patch cord is compatible with all standard RJ45-equipped network devices, including switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras. It is designed to meet or exceed TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for Category 6A cabling, ensuring seamless integration with existing Category 6A infrastructure and backward compatibility with Category 5e and Category 6 systems. Use it to connect endpoints to patch panels or directly to network devices where a 5-meter cable run is required.

Installation Notes

The UTP28X5MBU features a 28AWG conductor gauge, offering a smaller diameter and increased flexibility compared to standard 24AWG cables, which can ease installation in high-density environments. The cable is rated CM/LSZH, meaning it can be installed in air handling spaces (plenum) without requiring conduit, provided local codes permit. Ensure termination points are clean and free from debris to maintain optimal signal integrity. No special tools are required beyond standard network installation practices.
