Panduit UTP28X4.5MPK CAT6A 28AWG UTP Cable

Panduit UTP28X4.5MPK CAT6A 28AWG UTP Cable

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X4.5MPK is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable designed for high-performance data transmission. With its 28AWG construction and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, it meets stringent environmental and safety standards, making it suitable for demanding enterprise networking environments, data centers, and telecommunications rooms where reliable connectivity is paramount.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to support TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards, ensuring interoperability with compliant networking hardware. It is designed for use in systems requiring 10 Gbps data rates and up to 500 MHz bandwidth, making it compatible with standard Category 6A network infrastructure components such as patch panels, keystones, and network interface cards.

Installation Notes

The 28AWG conductor size provides a smaller diameter, allowing for higher cable density in racks and conduits, which is crucial for space-constrained environments. The LSZH jacket minimizes the release of toxic fumes in the event of a fire, aligning with safety regulations for indoor installations. Ensure termination is performed using Category 6A compliant connectors and tools to maintain signal integrity and achieve rated performance.
