Panduit UTP28X3MPB CAT 6A 28AWG UTP Patch Cord Cm/lszh Pastel BL 3 M

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X3MPB is a 3-meter Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network connections in commercial and residential environments. Its 28AWG stranded copper construction offers superior flexibility for tight installations, while the CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures compliance for use in plenum and riser spaces, minimizing fire risk and smoke emission. This cable is ideal for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, network switches, and workstations where reliable, high-bandwidth data transmission is critical.

Compatibility

This patch cord is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and networking equipment supporting Category 6A performance standards. It is suitable for use with any network infrastructure requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) speeds up to 100 meters, including systems utilizing IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), and managed network switches. The 28AWG gauge is optimized for patch cord applications, providing a balance of performance and flexibility.

Installation Notes

The stranded 28AWG copper conductors provide excellent flexibility, making the UTP28X3MPB easier to route in confined spaces such as cable trays, under raised floors, or behind equipment racks. The CM/LSZH jacket is suitable for installation in air-handling spaces, offering a safer alternative to standard PVC jackets in critical environments. Ensure proper termination and strain relief to maintain signal integrity.
