Panduit PUP6C04PK-WZ Cat6 UTP Cable

Overview

The Panduit PUP6C04PK-WZ is a Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper cable designed for high-performance network connectivity. It supports data rates up to 1 Gbps and a bandwidth of 250 MHz, making it suitable for enterprise networking environments, telecommunications rooms, and data centers requiring reliable copper infrastructure. The 1000-foot (PK1000) spool ensures sufficient length for large deployments.

Compatibility

This cable is designed to meet TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards, ensuring compatibility with standard Category 6 network components such as patch panels, jacks, and network interface cards. It is suitable for use with 1 Gbps Ethernet applications and any system requiring Category 6 performance. The UL Listing indicates compliance with safety standards for use in commercial installations.

Installation Notes

As an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, the PUP6C04PK-WZ is less susceptible to electromagnetic interference than shielded alternatives in environments with low EMI. However, for environments with significant electrical noise or high-density cabling, consider shielded Category 6A or higher for superior performance. Proper termination using compatible Category 6 jacks and patch panels is critical to achieving rated performance.
