Panduit UTP28X6GY 6ft Cat6a Gray 28AWG UTP Patch Cord
Overview
The Panduit UTP28X6GY is a 6-foot Category 6a unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission in commercial and surveillance environments. Its 28AWG construction offers a smaller diameter and increased flexibility, making it ideal for dense network racks and cable management systems where space is at a premium. The CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rating ensures compliance with building codes for installation in air-handling spaces, providing enhanced safety.
Compatibility
This patch cord is engineered to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) speeds up to 100 meters, making it suitable for connecting network switches, servers, workstations, and IP cameras. It is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and any network equipment requiring Cat6a performance, including IEEE 802.3an standards for 10GBASE-T. Use this cord for reliable uplinks from access switches to core switches, or for direct connections to high-bandwidth surveillance devices.
Installation Notes
The 28AWG construction provides superior flexibility, simplifying installation in crowded patch panels and conduits. The LSZH jacket material reduces the emission of toxic fumes and smoke in the event of a fire, a critical consideration for enterprise and public safety deployments. Ensure proper strain relief is applied at termination points to maintain cable integrity and prevent signal degradation.
