Panduit UTP28SP8INBL Patch Cord
Overview
The Panduit UTP28SP8INBL is an 8-inch (0.66 ft) Cat 6 UTP patch cord designed for high-density network environments where space is constrained. Its compact 28 AWG construction simplifies cable management in racks and patch panels, reducing clutter and improving airflow. This cord is suitable for demanding applications including Gigabit Ethernet and VoIP, supporting up to 10GBASE-T over limited distances. It is also rated for PoE++ (802.3bt), ensuring sufficient power delivery for connected devices.
Compatibility
This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 and ISO 11801 Class E standards for frequencies up to 250 MHz. It is compatible with T568A and T568B wiring schemes and supports Ethernet 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), and 10GBASE-T. It also supports ATM at various speeds and digital video applications. Its CM/LSZH rating makes it suitable for use in riser or plenum spaces per local codes.
Installation Notes
The cable features a patented tangle-free latch that prevents snags during installation and a centered de-embedded plug design. Integral pair managers facilitate easier termination. The 28 AWG stranded conductor construction offers flexibility for tight bends. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes allow for simple port mapping with compatible software.
