Description

Panduit UTP28CH6BU Copper Patch Cord Cat 5e SD 6ft BU

Overview

The Panduit UTP28CH6BU is a 6-foot Category 5e unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord, finished in blue. This cable is designed for standard Ethernet network deployments, providing a reliable physical link for data transmission in IT infrastructure and surveillance systems. Its 6-foot length is ideal for connecting devices within a single rack or cabinet, minimizing cable clutter and ensuring proper airflow. Sourced direct from the manufacturer, this cable ensures genuine performance for your network backbone.

Compatibility

This Cat 5e patch cord is compatible with all standard networking equipment utilizing RJ45 connectors, including switches, routers, servers, workstations, IP cameras, and network video recorders (NVRs). It supports data rates up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and is backward compatible with slower Ethernet standards. Use this cable for connecting devices within network switches or to patch panels in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Ensure connectors are fully seated to achieve optimal performance and maintain signal integrity. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could exceed the cable's minimum bend radius, which is typically 4 times the cable diameter (approximately 1 inch or 25mm). For optimal network performance, pair this cable with other Cat 5e or higher-rated network components.
