Panduit UTP28X18BU Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X18BU is an 18-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable. It is constructed with 28AWG stranded copper conductors and features CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rated jacketing, making it suitable for installation in plenum spaces where fire safety and low smoke emission are critical. This cable is factory-terminated with RJ45 connectors, providing a reliable connection for data transmission in commercial and enterprise network deployments. The blue color facilitates cable management and identification within structured cabling systems.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with standard Category 6A network infrastructure, including 10GBASE-T Ethernet applications. It is compatible with all network devices featuring RJ45 ports, such as network switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras. Specifically, it integrates seamlessly with Panduit's Net-Access™ S2 series cabinets and other structured cabling components. It supports data rates up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 100 meters (328 feet) when used in a properly designed Category 6A system.

Installation Notes

The 28AWG stranded conductor construction offers increased flexibility compared to solid conductors, simplifying installation in high-density environments like patch panels and server racks. The CM/LSZH rating ensures compliance with building codes for plenum installations. Ensure connectors are fully seated to achieve optimal performance and prevent signal degradation. Avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4x cable diameter radius to maintain signal integrity.
