Panduit PUR6C04BU-F Category 6 Copper Cable

Overview

The Panduit PUR6C04BU-F is a 1000-foot spool of Category 6 U/UTP bulk copper cable designed for high-speed data network installations. Its 23 AWG solid conductor construction and blue CMR (Câble ascendant) flammability rating make it suitable for in-wall and riser applications within commercial buildings, data centers, and enterprise networks where reliable 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps connectivity is required. This cable, part of the Pan-Net® family, provides a robust foundation for structured cabling systems.

Compatibility

This Category 6 cable is backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 5 systems. It is designed for use with standard RJ45 connectors and patch panels compliant with TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards. It supports all Panduit copper connectivity products and is suitable for use with network switches, routers, and servers from all major manufacturers, including those used in surveillance systems requiring high-bandwidth data transmission.

Installation Notes

The cable features a solid conductor construction, which provides superior performance over stranded wire for longer horizontal runs but is less flexible for patch cords. The CMR rating indicates it is suitable for use in vertical pathways (risers) within a building, but not for use in air-handling plenums without additional fire-rated jacketing (which this specific SKU does not possess). Ensure proper termination techniques are followed to achieve optimal performance and meet TIA/EIA standards.
