Panduit UTP28X4MPK CAT6A 28AWG UTP Cable

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X4MPK is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper cable designed for high-performance networking applications. Its 28AWG construction and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket make it suitable for environments requiring enhanced safety and data integrity, such as data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise networking backbones. This cable supports 10 Gbps data rates up to 100 meters, ensuring robust connectivity for demanding network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to meet TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards, ensuring broad compatibility with standard Category 6A networking equipment, patch panels, and RJ45 connectors. It is UL Listed, confirming its adherence to safety and performance benchmarks for enterprise deployments. Use this cable for new installations or upgrades where 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance is critical.

Installation Notes

The 28AWG construction offers increased flexibility and reduced bulk compared to 24AWG cable, facilitating easier routing in high-density environments. Its LSZH jacket minimizes the release of toxic fumes and smoke in the event of a fire, a critical consideration for compliance in many commercial and industrial settings. Ensure termination is performed using tools and connectors specified for Category 6A performance to achieve the rated 10 Gbps speeds.
