Panduit UTP28SP8BU Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28SP8BU is an 8-foot Cat 6 UTP patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission in commercial and enterprise environments. Its compact 28 AWG stranded conductor construction simplifies cable management in dense racks and patch panels, while the integral pair manager ensures optimal performance. This cord is engineered for reliability and ease of use, supporting critical network infrastructure deployments. The model number UTP28SP8BU is specifically designed for these applications.

Compatibility

This patch cord is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 standards, ensuring compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and 10GBASE-T Ethernet over limited distances. It supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++) Type 3 and Type 4 Power over Ethernet applications, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras and wireless access points directly through the network cable. It is wired to be compatible with both T568A and T568B wiring schemes.

Installation Notes

The cord features a patented tangle-free latch on its high-performance modular plugs, which prevents snags during installation and ensures a secure, fast release, streamlining moves, adds, and changes. The 0.150-inch (3.8mm) diameter cable and 28 AWG conductors facilitate easier routing in high-density environments. Pre-installed barcodes enable simple port mapping when used with RapidID software.
