Description

Panduit UTP28SP8INBU Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28SP8INBU is an 8-inch, blue Cat6 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) patch cord designed for structured cabling deployments where short, reliable connections are required. Its compact 28 AWG stranded copper construction simplifies routing in high-density environments like network closets or server racks, reducing cable congestion. The integrated tangle-free latch ensures secure connections that are easy to release, streamlining moves, adds, and changes without snagging or accidental disconnections. This cord is ideal for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, and patch panels in commercial or industrial settings.

Compatibility

This Cat6 patch cord supports data rates up to 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) and 100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet), as well as ATM and VoIP applications. It is backward compatible with Cat5e systems and meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO 11801 Class E standards, ensuring performance up to 250 MHz. The cord also supports PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 3/4) for up to 24 cables in a bundle and PoE/PoE+ (IEEE 802.3af/at) for up to 48 cables in a bundle, making it suitable for powering network devices without requiring separate power supplies.

Installation Notes

The Panduit UTP28SP8INBU features a tangle-free latch that prevents snags and ensures a fast release, simplifying installation and maintenance. It is equipped with RapidID barcodes for easy port mapping when used with compatible RapidID software. The 28 AWG stranded conductor gauge offers flexibility and a smaller bend radius, beneficial for high-density installations. The CM/LSZH (CM/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket rating satisfies building codes requiring reduced flame spread and smoke emission.
