Panduit UTP28X9 CAT 6A 28AWG UTP PC CM/LSZH 10FT PK1MOQ10

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X9 is a 10-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable designed for high-density network environments where space is at a premium. Its 28AWG construction allows for smaller bend radii and increased port density in patch panels and network switches, crucial for modern data centers and enterprise network closets. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters, ensuring performance for demanding applications. The CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rating makes it suitable for in-wall installations where fire safety and reduced smoke emission are critical.

Compatibility

This UTP28X9 cable is designed for use with standard RJ45 connectors and is backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 6 networks. It is suitable for connecting network devices such as servers, switches, routers, and workstations. Specifically, it integrates seamlessly with Panduit's Net-Access™ cabinets, high-density patch panels, and other structured cabling components. It is also compatible with equipment from other manufacturers adhering to TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for Category 6A cabling.

Installation Notes

The 28AWG construction offers improved flexibility for routing in tight spaces. Ensure proper termination practices are followed to maintain signal integrity and meet Category 6A performance specifications. The CM/LSZH jacket requires adherence to local building codes for plenum or riser installations.
