Panduit STP28X2M Shielded Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit STP28X2M is a 2-meter, 28 AWG shielded Cat 6A patch cord designed for high-density network deployments where cable management is critical. Its compact 0.185-inch diameter simplifies routing in tight spaces, and the tangle-free latch ensures easy installation and removal without snagging. This cord is rated for CM/LSZH flammability, making it suitable for plenum or riser pathways. It's built to support the latest network demands, including PoE++ power delivery.

Compatibility

This patch cord is designed to exceed all ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) networks up to 500 MHz. It is compatible with systems requiring IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++) Class 3 and Class 4 power delivery, making it suitable for powering devices like Wi-Fi 6 access points, IP cameras, and IoT sensors. It meets IEC 60603-7 connector standards.

Installation Notes

Constructed with solid 28 AWG conductors and high-performance modular plugs, the STP28X2M features a tangle-free latch that promotes faster moves, adds, and changes. The pre-installed RapidID barcodes facilitate easy port mapping and network management when used with compatible RapidID software. Its CM/LSZH rating means it can be deployed in environments requiring specific fire safety standards.
