Panduit CATEGORY 6A PERFORMANCE 28 AWG - UTP28X6INBU-48

Panduit UTP28X6INBU-48 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X6INBU-48 is a 6-inch Category 6A UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) patch cable designed for high-density network environments where precise cable management is critical. Its 28 AWG construction and flexible blue jacket make it ideal for connecting patch panels, switches, and network devices in tight spaces, ensuring optimal airflow and reducing strain on ports. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters, making it suitable for demanding surveillance and data center applications.

Compatibility

This Category 6A cable is backward compatible with Category 6 and Category 5e standards. It is designed for use with standard RJ45 connectors and is compatible with all network equipment featuring RJ45 ports, including switches, routers, servers, and IP cameras from brands such as Axis Communications, Hanwha Vision, Hikvision, and Dahua Technology, provided they utilize standard Ethernet connectivity.

Installation Notes

Utilize the short 6-inch length to minimize cable clutter in high-density racks. The 28 AWG construction offers flexibility but requires careful handling to avoid over-bending, which can degrade performance. Ensure termination points are clean and free of debris before connecting to prevent intermittent issues. For optimal 10 Gigabit performance, ensure all components in the channel (cable, connectors, patch panels) are Category 6A rated.
