Panduit PUP6004OR-WLP Enhanced Cat 6 UTP Cable

Overview

The Panduit PUP6004OR-WLP is an Enhanced Category 6 (Cat 6) unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper cable designed for high-performance network infrastructure. This 4-pair, 23 AWG cable in an orange jacket is critical for ensuring reliable data transmission in surveillance systems, data centers, and enterprise networks where bandwidth and signal integrity are paramount. Its construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 55 meters and 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1GBASE-T) up to 100 meters, making it suitable for demanding applications.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all standard Cat 6 and Cat 6A networking components, including patch panels, jacks, and network interface cards (NICs) that adhere to TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards. It is suitable for use with network switches, routers, and surveillance NVRs from manufacturers such as Axis Communications, Hanwha Vision, Hikvision, and Dahua, provided they utilize standard RJ45 connectors and support the required network speeds.

Installation Notes

For optimal performance and to meet the Enhanced Cat 6 specification, maintain a minimum bend radius of 4 times the cable diameter during installation and 8 times the diameter after installation. Avoid sharp bends or kinks, which can degrade signal quality. Ensure proper termination using Panduit's recommended tools and connectors to achieve the specified performance metrics for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications.
