Panduit UTP28X2.5MPK CAT6A 28AWG UTP Cable

Panduit UTP28X2.5MPK CAT6A 28AWG UTP Cable

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X2.5MPK is a 28AWG unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Category 6A cable designed for high-performance network infrastructure. Its construction supports demanding data center, telecommunications room, and enterprise networking environments where reliable, high-speed connectivity is critical. This cable meets stringent industry standards, ensuring data integrity for applications requiring up to 10 Gbps transmission speeds.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for compatibility with standard RJ45 connectors and network devices supporting Category 6A performance. It is suitable for use in TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 compliant network installations. For optimal performance, pair with other Category 6A components, including patch panels and network switches, to achieve the full 500 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gbps data rate.

Installation Notes

The 28AWG gauge provides a smaller diameter and increased flexibility compared to thicker cables, aiding in cable management within high-density racks. It is rated CM (Communications Multipurpose) for use in riser applications, and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) for reduced fire load and smoke emission. Ensure proper termination techniques are followed to maintain signal integrity and meet the specified bandwidth requirements.
