Panduit STP28X5MBU 5M Cat6a Shielded Patch Cable
Overview
The Panduit STP28X5MBU is a 5-meter, Category 6a shielded patch cable designed for high-speed data networks. Featuring a 28AWG construction and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) blue jacket, this cable is suitable for plenum spaces where fire safety is critical. Its shielding mitigates electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring signal integrity for demanding applications like 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, making it a robust choice for critical infrastructure deployments.
Compatibility
This STP28X5MBU cable is engineered to meet TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards for Category 6a performance. It is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and network devices requiring Cat6a performance, including high-density server racks, network switches, and workstations. Its LSZH jacket makes it suitable for installation in plenum and air-handling spaces within commercial buildings, aligning with strict building codes.
Installation Notes
The 28AWG conductor size offers increased flexibility and reduced bend radius compared to thicker gauge cables, simplifying installation in crowded pathways. The LSZH jacket material requires specific handling during termination and installation to ensure compliance with fire safety regulations. Ensure proper grounding of the shield to maintain EMI protection.
