Panduit UTP28X18BU Cat6A 28AWG UTP CM/LSZH Patch Cable
Overview
The Panduit UTP28X18BU is an 18-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in commercial and surveillance environments. Its 28AWG conductors and CM/LSZH jacket rating ensure reliable performance and safety compliance for structured cabling systems. This cable is suitable for connecting network devices where a shorter, flexible link is required, such as between a wall plate and a workstation or a camera and a network switch.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that supports Category 6A performance, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, and network interface cards. It is designed to meet the requirements for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters, though its 18ft length makes it ideal for shorter runs within racks or between adjacent devices.
Installation Notes
The 28AWG conductor gauge provides a smaller diameter and increased flexibility compared to standard 24AWG cables, simplifying installation in high-density environments. The CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket rating is suitable for use in building risers and plenums where fire safety and low smoke emission are critical. Ensure proper termination practices are followed to maintain signal integrity.
