Panduit UTP28X16GY CAT 6A 28AWG UTP PC CM/LSZH GR PK1MOQ10 NO CANCELLATION/NO RETURN

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X16GY is a 16-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in commercial and enterprise network deployments. Its 28AWG construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters, making it suitable for connecting network devices like servers, switches, and workstations where bandwidth and signal integrity are critical. The CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rating ensures compliance with fire safety standards in plenum spaces and reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire, a key consideration for building codes and safety regulations.

Compatibility

This UTP28X16GY cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and network equipment supporting Category 6A performance. It is suitable for use with network switches, routers, patch panels, and end-user devices (computers, IP cameras, VoIP phones) that require 10Gbps connectivity. Its construction is designed to meet TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards, ensuring interoperability with equipment from various manufacturers.

Installation Notes

The cable features a gray, low-smoke zero-halogen jacket, suitable for installation in air handling spaces. Its 28AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility for routing in tight spaces, but care should be taken to avoid excessive bending or kinking, which can degrade performance. Ensure termination points (patch panels, wall plates) also meet Category 6A specifications for optimal throughput. The cable is supplied in a pack of 10 units (PK1MOQ10).
