Panduit PUP6C04YL-WZ Bulk Copper Cable

Overview

The Panduit PUP6C04YL-WZ is a 1000ft spool of Category 6 bulk copper cable designed for high-speed data transmission in commercial and enterprise network infrastructure. Its yellow, 24 AWG U/UTP construction meets plenum (CMP) flammability standards, making it suitable for installation in air handling spaces above ceilings, where fire safety is critical. This cable is engineered for reliable performance supporting up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, ensuring your network backbone can handle demanding applications.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards and is designed to work with standard RJ45 connectors and patch panels. It supports all TIA/EIA-568-C.2 requirements for Category 6 cabling, ensuring compatibility with most commercial network hardware, including switches, routers, and network interface cards from major vendors. For optimal performance, pair with other Cat6-rated components to achieve full 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over distances up to 55 meters (180 feet) and 1 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters (328 feet).

Installation Notes

The cable's 24 AWG conductor gauge offers a balance of flexibility and signal integrity. As a plenum-rated (CMP) cable, it must be installed according to local fire codes and building regulations specific to plenum spaces. Ensure clean cuts and proper termination to maintain signal quality and prevent performance degradation. The 1000ft length on the spool facilitates efficient deployment in large installations, minimizing splices and potential points of failure.
