Panduit UTP28X5MPK CAT6A Cable

Panduit UTP28X5MPK CAT6A Cable

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X5MPK is a Category 6A, 28AWG Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable designed for high-performance copper connectivity. It supports data rates up to 10 Gbps with a bandwidth of 500 MHz, making it suitable for demanding data center, telecommunications room, and enterprise networking environments where reliable, high-speed data transmission is critical. This cable meets TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for general-purpose network infrastructure and is compatible with any standard RJ45-terminated networking equipment and patch panels supporting Cat6A specifications. It is suitable for use with network switches, routers, servers, and workstations in enterprise and data center deployments.

Installation Notes

The UTP28X5MPK features a CM (Communications Multipurpose) riser rating and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing, suitable for installation in pathways that require reduced fire load and smoke emission. Ensure proper termination techniques are followed to maintain signal integrity and achieve rated performance. The 28AWG construction offers flexibility for high-density patching but requires careful handling to avoid kinks or damage that could impact performance.
