Panduit CAT 6A 28AWG UTP PC CM/LSZH 70F T BLUE PK 1 - UTP28X70BU

Panduit UTP28X70BU CAT 6A 28AWG UTP PC CM/LSZH 70F T BLUE PK 1

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X70BU is a 70-foot, Category 6A, 28AWG Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in commercial and enterprise environments. Its CM/LSZH (Plenum/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rated jacket makes it suitable for installation in plenum spaces above ceilings, offering a balance of performance and safety compliance. This cable is engineered to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) speeds up to 100 meters, ensuring reliable connectivity for demanding network applications, including surveillance systems requiring high bandwidth for multiple HD or 4K streams.

Compatibility

This UTP28X70BU cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and network devices supporting Category 6A performance. It is suitable for use with network switches, routers, servers, and endpoints from manufacturers such as Cisco, Juniper, HPE, Dell, and any other vendor adhering to TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards. Specifically for surveillance, it ensures full bandwidth support for IP cameras requiring 1Gbps or 10Gbps connections, including high-megapixel cameras and PTZ units transmitting multiple video streams. It is also backward compatible with Category 6 and Category 5e networks, though performance will be limited to the lower category's specifications.

Installation Notes

The 28AWG construction offers a smaller diameter and increased flexibility compared to 24AWG cables, facilitating easier routing in high-density installations and conduit fills. The CM/LSZH jacket meets fire safety codes for plenum spaces, minimizing smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. Ensure proper termination with compatible RJ45 connectors designed for 28AWG solid or stranded conductors to maintain signal integrity and meet CAT 6A performance standards. Avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4x cable diameter radius to prevent internal conductor damage.
