Panduit UTP28X17VL CAT6A 28AWG UTP PC CM/LSZH VL 1 7ft PK1
Overview
The Panduit UTP28X17VL is a 7-foot, Category 6A (CAT6A) unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable. Its 28AWG construction offers a smaller diameter and increased flexibility compared to standard 23AWG or 24AWG cables, making it suitable for high-density environments like server racks and data centers where space is at a premium. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters, ensuring high-speed data transmission for critical network infrastructure.
Compatibility
This cable is designed for use with standard RJ45 connectors and is backward compatible with lower category networks (CAT5e, CAT6). It is suitable for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, servers, and workstations. The CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rating makes it compliant for use in plenum spaces and environments where fire safety regulations require low smoke and halogen-free materials.
Installation Notes
The 28AWG construction provides enhanced flexibility, simplifying cable management in crowded racks. Ensure proper termination practices are followed to maintain signal integrity and achieve optimal performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. The low-smoke zero-halogen jacket is crucial for installations within air-handling spaces or public buildings where fire safety is a primary concern.
