Panduit UTP28X50BU CAT 6A 28AWG UTP Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X50BU is a 50-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable designed for high-speed data networking applications. Its 28AWG construction and CM/LSZH (Plenum/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rating make it suitable for installation in plenum spaces where fire safety is critical, while supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. This cable is engineered to meet the demands of modern network infrastructure, ensuring reliable data transmission for surveillance systems, enterprise networks, and data centers.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all standard RJ45-equipped networking devices, including switches, routers, servers, and workstations. It is specifically designed to support Category 6A network infrastructure, ensuring optimal performance for 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet) up to 100 meters. It is suitable for use with network equipment from major manufacturers requiring high-speed data connectivity.

Installation Notes

The UTP28X50BU features a CM/LSZH jacket, allowing for installation in air-handling (plenum) spaces as per building codes. The 28AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility for routing in tight spaces. Ensure proper termination practices are followed to maintain signal integrity and achieve rated performance. This cable is intended for patch cord applications and is not designed for horizontal in-wall runs.
