Panduit UTP28SP10PK Cat 6 Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit UTP28SP10PK is a 10-foot Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable. Constructed with 28 AWG stranded copper conductors and a CM/LSZH rated jacket, this cable is designed for reliable data transmission in commercial and residential environments. Its pink color aids in visual identification and cable management, particularly useful in structured cabling systems where color-coding is critical for network segmentation and troubleshooting. This cable is suitable for 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet applications, ensuring consistent performance for network devices.

Compatibility

This Panduit UTP28SP10PK cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and network equipment. It is suitable for use with network switches, routers, patch panels, and end devices (computers, IP cameras, access control panels) that utilize Category 6 or lower rated cabling infrastructure. It is designed to meet the performance requirements for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and is backward compatible with Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) and 10BASE-T networks.

Installation Notes

The 28 AWG stranded conductor construction provides flexibility, making it easier to route in tight spaces. The CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket offers a balance of flame retardancy and reduced smoke emission, suitable for installation in plenum spaces or areas with stricter environmental requirements. Ensure proper termination practices are followed to maintain cable performance integrity.
