Panduit PUFP6X04BU-UG Cat 6a Plenum U/FTP Cable

Overview

The Panduit PUFP6X04BU-UG is a 1000ft spool of Category 6a, 4-pair, 23 AWG solid copper cable designed for high-speed data transmission in plenum-rated environments. Its U/FTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair with Foil Shielding) construction provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it suitable for demanding network installations where data integrity is critical, such as in surveillance systems requiring clear video streams or enterprise networks supporting high-bandwidth applications. This cable is engineered to meet the performance requirements for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters.

Compatibility

This Category 6a cable is backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 6 systems. It is designed for use with standard RJ45 connectors and is compatible with all network equipment supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet speeds, including switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards from major manufacturers. Its plenum rating ensures compliance with building codes for installation in air-handling spaces.

Installation Notes

The cable features solid copper conductors, requiring termination with IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) style connectors. Maximum installation tension should not exceed 25 lb to prevent conductor damage. The blue jacket color aids in identification within structured cabling systems. The cable diameter is 0.295 inches.
