Panduit PUP6AS04VL-GZ Cat 6A Bulk Cable

Overview

The Panduit PUP6AS04VL-GZ is a 1000ft (305m) reel of Category 6A bulk copper cable, specifically designed for plenum spaces within enterprise data centers and commercial installations. Its violet color and Plenum (CMP) flammability rating make it suitable for environments requiring adherence to strict fire safety codes, such as NFPA 268, while providing the bandwidth necessary for modern high-speed network infrastructure supporting surveillance systems, data storage, and unified communications. This cable is engineered for reliable performance in demanding network architectures.

Compatibility

This Panduit Pan-Net® Category 6A cable is compatible with all standard 110-style punch-down connectors, patch panels, and RJ45 connectors designed for 23 AWG solid conductors. It is suitable for use in 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) applications up to 100 meters and supports high-density network deployments where reliable data transmission is critical. Its construction ensures backward compatibility with lower category standards like Cat 5e and Cat 6, providing flexibility for network upgrades.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 23 AWG solid conductor gauge, ideal for permanent in-wall and in-ceiling installations. Its Plenum (CMP) rating requires careful installation to maintain firestop integrity, adhering to local building codes and NFPA 268 standards for flammability and smoke generation. The 1000ft reel facilitates efficient deployment in large-scale projects, minimizing splices and ensuring a continuous, high-performance data pathway.
