Panduit UTP28X12YL Cat6A 28AWG UTP Patch Cable
Overview
The Panduit UTP28X12YL is a 1.25-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable designed for high-density network environments. Its 28 AWG construction allows for smaller bend radii and increased port density in patch panels and network switches, making it suitable for structured cabling in data centers and enterprise networks where space is at a premium. The CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rating ensures compliance with safety standards for indoor installations, reducing the risk of toxic smoke in case of fire.
Compatibility
This cable is designed to terminate with standard RJ45 connectors and is backward compatible with Category 6 and Category 5e systems. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters, ensuring future-proof performance for demanding network applications. It is compatible with all standard network switches, routers, and patch panels requiring Cat6A performance.
Installation Notes
The 28 AWG conductor size offers flexibility and ease of routing in tight spaces. The CM/LSZH jacket material requires careful handling to avoid damage, but its low smoke and halogen-free properties are critical for installations in plenum spaces or public areas where fire safety is paramount. Ensure termination is performed with appropriate tools to maintain signal integrity.
