Panduit PFP6X04BU-UGZ Bulk Copper Cable

Overview

The Panduit PFP6X04BU-UGZ is a 1000-foot bulk copper cable designed for high-performance network installations within plenum spaces. Featuring F/UTP (foiled/unshielded twisted pair) construction and a 23 AWG solid conductor, this cable meets Category 6 standards, ensuring reliable data transmission for demanding applications like surveillance video, VoIP, and data networking. Its Plenum (CMP) flammability rating makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces, a critical requirement for compliance in commercial buildings.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for use with standard Category 6 network components, including patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 connectors. It supports data rates up to 1 Gbps and bandwidth up to 250 MHz, making it compatible with Gigabit Ethernet networks. When terminating, ensure you use connectors and tools specifically designed for 23 AWG solid conductor cable to maintain signal integrity.

Installation Notes

The cable is supplied on a 1000-foot reel, designed for easy pull-out and termination in structured cabling systems. The Plenum (CMP) rating signifies it meets stringent fire safety standards for use in air-handling plenums. Ensure proper cable management techniques are employed to avoid kinks or excessive tension, which can degrade performance. The F/UTP shielding helps mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk in environments with significant electrical noise.
