Panduit UTP28X41BU CAT 6A 28AWG UTP Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X41BU is a 41-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable designed for high-bandwidth data transmission in commercial environments. Its 28AWG construction offers a smaller diameter and increased flexibility compared to thicker gauge cables, making it suitable for dense network racks and tight cable management pathways. Rated CM/LSZH (Plenum/Low Smoke Zero Halogen), this cable meets stringent fire safety codes for installation in air handling spaces and public areas, reducing smoke emission and toxicity in case of fire. This cable is critical for ensuring signal integrity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, supporting high-definition surveillance streams and data transfer without performance degradation.

Compatibility

This Panduit UTP28X41BU 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 IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), switches, workstations, and servers that require reliable Category 6A performance. Its CM/LSZH rating makes it compliant for use in commercial buildings and enterprise networks where safety standards are paramount.

Installation Notes

The 28AWG construction provides enhanced flexibility, simplifying installation in crowded patch panels and conduits. Ensure terminations are properly performed to maintain the cable's Category 6A performance specifications. The CM/LSZH jacket requires adherence to local building codes regarding plenum space installations.
