Panduit STP28X1M Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit STP28X1M is a 1-meter Cat 6A shielded patch cord designed for high-speed network deployments where cable management and performance are critical. Its compact 28 AWG construction and CM/LSZH rating make it suitable for plenum spaces and installations requiring reduced cable diameter. This cord simplifies moves, adds, and changes with a tangle-free latch and supports advanced Power over Ethernet standards.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with all 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks operating up to 500 MHz. It is designed for use with high-performance modular plugs and is rated for IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) PoE standards, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.

Installation Notes

The 28 AWG solid conductor cable offers a reduced diameter of 0.185 inches (4.7mm), simplifying routing in high-density environments. The integrated tangle-free latch on the modular plugs ensures a secure connection and facilitates quick release, streamlining installation and maintenance tasks. The cable is constructed with shielded, twisted-pair solid conductors and carries a CM/LSZH flammability rating, suitable for use in certain plenum spaces and environments where low smoke and zero halogen characteristics are required.
