Panduit PUP6C04BL-WZ Cat 6 CMP Cable
Overview
The Panduit PUP6C04BL-WZ is a 1000-foot spool of Category 6 bulk copper cable, designed for high-speed data transmission in plenum-rated environments. Its 24 AWG unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction supports up to 1 Gbps Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for core network backbones, data center interconnects, and structured cabling systems where reliable performance is critical. The black jacket color aids in identification within complex wiring installations.
Compatibility
This cable is designed for use with standard RJ45 connectors and is compatible with all Category 6 network devices, switches, routers, and patch panels. It meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for copper cabling, ensuring interoperability with systems from various manufacturers. It is also backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 3 infrastructure components.
Installation Notes
The cable features a Plénum (CMP) flammability rating, meaning it uses a jacket material suitable for installation in air handling spaces (plenums) without the need for conduit, as per building codes. The 24 AWG conductor gauge offers a balance between flexibility and signal integrity. Ensure proper termination techniques are used with compatible CAT6 connectors to achieve maximum performance and maintain cable integrity.
