Panduit UTP28X9GY CAT 6A 28AWG UTP PC CM/LSZH GR PK1MOQ10 NO CANCELLATION/NO RETURN

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X9GY is a 28AWG Category 6A Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cable designed for high-density network environments where space is at a premium. Its reduced diameter construction allows for easier cable management in racks and enclosures, supporting up to 10 cables in the same space as 5 standard 24AWG cables. This cable is suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) applications up to 100 meters, making it ideal for connecting network devices like switches, servers, and workstations in enterprise or data center settings. The CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rating ensures compliance with safety standards for plenum and riser installations, reducing smoke and toxic gas emissions in case of fire.

Compatibility

This UTP28X9GY cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and network equipment, including switches, routers, servers, and workstations that support Category 6A performance. It is suitable for use with network devices from manufacturers such as Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Dell, HP, and any other vendor adhering to TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for Ethernet cabling. The 28AWG construction is optimized for patch cord applications, not for horizontal in-wall runs which typically require 23 or 24AWG.

Installation Notes

The reduced 28AWG diameter facilitates easier routing and termination in high-density patch panel and switch configurations. Ensure proper strain relief is maintained during installation to prevent damage to the conductors. The CM/LSZH jacket requires adherence to local building codes regarding cable installation in air-handling spaces and conduits.
