Panduit UTP28SP7GR Cat 6 Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28SP7GR is a 7-foot Cat 6 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) patch cord, featuring a compact 28 AWG stranded copper construction in a vibrant green jacket. This cord is designed for high-density installations where cable management is critical, such as in network closets or server racks. Its construction supports high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over limited distances and is rated for CM/LSZH (Plenum/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) applications, providing safety compliance in commercial environments. The integrated tangle-free latch simplifies moves, adds, and changes, reducing installation time and potential damage to ports.

Compatibility

This Cat 6 patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 and ISO 11801 Class E standards, ensuring performance for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), and 10GBASE-T networks. It is compatible with IEEE 802.3af/802.3at (PoE/PoE+) and the higher power requirements of 802.3bt types 3 and 4 (PoE++), making it suitable for powering devices like high-performance wireless access points or advanced IP cameras. The cord is wired for compatibility with both T568A and T568B termination schemes.

Installation Notes

The 28 AWG construction provides a smaller diameter (0.150-inch / 3.8mm) than standard 24 AWG cables, allowing for denser port configurations and easier routing through conduits or cable trays. The patented tangle-free latch design on the modular plugs prevents snagging during installation and removal, ensuring a secure connection and simplifying maintenance. Each cord is 100% performance tested for wire map, Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and return loss to guarantee adherence to specifications.
