Panduit UTP28X5MOR CAT6A 28AWG UTP PC CM/LSZH OR 5M PK1

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X5MOR is a 5-meter Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in commercial and surveillance environments. Its 28AWG construction offers a smaller diameter, facilitating easier routing in dense cable pathways. Rated CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen), this cable minimizes smoke and halogen emissions during a fire, enhancing safety in enclosed spaces. This specific cable is crucial for ensuring signal integrity and performance for network devices, including IP cameras and NVRs, where consistent data flow is paramount.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment utilizing RJ45 connectors, including 10/100/1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T Ethernet networks. It is suitable for connecting network switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP surveillance devices such as cameras and Network Video Recorders (NVRs) from various manufacturers that adhere to TIA/EIA standards. Specifically, it supports high-bandwidth applications required by 4K IP cameras and high-density NVR deployments.

Installation Notes

Designed for plug-and-play deployment, this patch cable requires no specialized tools for connection. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive bending radius (minimum 4x cable diameter) to maintain performance and prevent damage. The CM/LSZH rating makes it suitable for use in plenum spaces where fire safety regulations are stringent, but always verify local building codes and installation requirements.
