Panduit STP28X1MVL Shielded Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit STP28X1MVL is a 28AWG Category 6A shielded patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission in demanding network environments. Its construction provides robust protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and alien crosstalk (AXT), crucial for maintaining signal integrity in data centers, enterprise networks, and industrial automation deployments. This cable is factory-terminated to ensure consistent performance and reliability for critical network links.

Compatibility

This STP28X1MVL patch cord is compatible with all standard RJ45-terminated networking equipment, including switches, routers, servers, and workstations. It is specifically suited for use in Category 6A (10GBASE-T) network infrastructure where 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds are required over distances up to 100 meters. It is also backward compatible with Category 6 and Category 5e systems, though performance will be limited to the lower category's specifications.

Installation Notes

The flexible 28AWG stranded copper construction allows for easier routing in high-density patching areas. Ensure that both ends of the patch cord are securely seated in their respective RJ45 ports to guarantee a stable connection. For optimal performance in environments with high EMI, ensure that the cable is properly grounded and that any associated patch panels and jacks are also shielded.
