Panduit UTPSP30BLY Cat 6 UTP Patch Cord 30ft Black

Overview

The Panduit UTPSP30BLY is a 30-foot, black Cat 6 UTP patch cord designed for reliable data transmission in enterprise and data center environments. Constructed with 24 AWG stranded copper, this cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and up to 10GBASE-T over limited distances, making it suitable for connecting network devices like switches, routers, and endpoints. The integral pair manager and tangle-free latch features streamline installation and maintenance, particularly in high-density racks where cable management is critical. Its CM flammability rating ensures compliance with building codes for riser applications.

Compatibility

This Panduit Cat 6 patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 standards, ensuring compatibility with all network equipment supporting T568A and T568B wiring schemes. It supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++ up to Type 4) applications, providing sufficient power delivery for PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power supplies. It is suitable for Ethernet 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, 1000BASE-T, and 10GBASE-T networks, as well as ATM and token ring protocols.

Installation Notes

The UTPSP30BLY features a patented tangle-free latch on its modular plugs, preventing snags during installation and removal, which simplifies moves, adds, and changes. The slender strain relief boot is designed for easy access and connection in high-density patch panel environments. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes on the cable facilitate simple port mapping when used with compatible RapidID software, reducing troubleshooting time.
