Panduit UTP28SP6VL 6ft Cat 6 Patch Cord Violet

Overview

The Panduit UTP28SP6VL is a 6-foot Cat 6 UTP patch cord in violet, designed for high-density network environments. Its 28 AWG stranded copper construction and compact 0.150-inch diameter simplify cable management in racks and patch panels, reducing airflow obstruction and easing installation. The integral pair manager and patented tangle-free latch streamline moves, adds, and changes, ensuring reliable connectivity for Gigabit Ethernet, VoIP, and digital video applications.

Compatibility

This patch cord is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 and ISO 11801 Class E standards, ensuring compatibility with standard Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and Fast Ethernet (100BASE-T) networks. It also supports high-speed ATM applications up to 1.2 Gb/s and various digital video systems. The cable is rated for IEEE 802.3af/at PoE (up to 48 cables in a bundle) and 802.3bt Type 3/4 PoE++ (up to 24 cables in a bundle), making it suitable for powering network devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras where higher power draw is required.

Installation Notes

The 28 AWG construction offers increased flexibility, allowing for tighter bend radii than larger gauge cables, which is beneficial in high-density installations. The CM/LSZH (Plenum/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rating makes it suitable for use in plenum spaces or environments where fire safety and low smoke emission are critical. Each cable is 100% performance tested for wire map, Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and return loss, verifying its adherence to Cat 6 specifications.
