Panduit UTP28X100GY Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X100GY is a 100-foot, Category 6A, 28AWG Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cable. It is designed for high-speed data transmission in commercial building environments, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters. This cable is CM/LSZH rated, making it suitable for plenum or riser spaces where fire safety codes are a concern. Its construction ensures reliable connectivity for network devices in surveillance systems, data centers, or office networks where performance and safety are critical. The gray jacket color aids in cable management and identification within structured cabling systems. This specific cable, model UTP28X100GY, is engineered for dependable performance in demanding network infrastructures.

Compatibility

This Panduit CAT 6A cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors and supports Category 6A performance standards. This includes, but is not limited to, network switches, routers, servers, IP cameras, access control panels, and workstations. It is backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 6 infrastructure, though performance will be limited to the lowest category in the link. Ensure your network devices and infrastructure are rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet to achieve maximum throughput.

Installation Notes

The 28AWG construction offers a smaller diameter and increased flexibility compared to standard 23AWG or 24AWG cables, facilitating easier routing in high-density environments and conduit fills. The CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rating means it meets stringent fire safety standards for installation in air handling spaces and risers, reducing the risk of toxic smoke and flame spread in the event of a fire. Proper termination and strain relief are essential to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage.
