Overview

The Panduit UTP28X14GY is a 14-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable designed for high-speed data network deployments. Featuring 28AWG conductors and a CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, this cable ensures reliable performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications while meeting stringent fire safety standards. Its gray color aids in cable management and identification within structured cabling systems. This cable is suitable for connecting network devices in commercial or enterprise environments where plenum or riser ratings are required.

Compatibility

This Panduit UTP28X14GY cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and network equipment, including switches, routers, patch panels, and end-user devices. It is designed to meet or exceed Category 6A performance specifications, making it suitable for use with 10GBASE-T Ethernet networks. It integrates seamlessly into structured cabling systems utilizing Panduit connectivity products and other industry-standard components.

Installation Notes

The 28AWG construction offers increased flexibility and reduced diameter compared to standard 24AWG cables, facilitating easier routing in high-density environments. The CM/LSZH jacket is suitable for use in general building spaces (riser applications) and where low smoke and halogen-free characteristics are mandated for fire safety. Ensure proper termination practices are followed to maintain signal integrity and meet performance standards.
