Panduit PFL6X04BU-CEG Copper Cable

Overview

The Panduit PFL6X04BU-CEG is a 1000-foot (305m) Category 6A, 23 AWG, F/UTP (shielded twisted pair) copper cable designed for high-performance network infrastructure. Its LSZH-3 (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rated jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety and reduced smoke emission are critical, such as in commercial buildings or data centers. This cable supports data rates up to 10 Gbps and is compliant with IEEE 802.3bt for PoE++ power delivery, making it ideal for powering devices like high-definition surveillance cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power circuits.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to surpass ISO 11801 Class EA and ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6A standards. It is compatible with all network devices requiring Cat 6A performance, including switches, routers, and endpoints supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Its PoE++ (802.3bt) compliance ensures it can reliably deliver power to high-demand PoE devices commonly found in modern IP surveillance and enterprise network deployments.

Installation Notes

The cable features a HDPE jacket with a flame retardant additive and a full-shield metallic foil wrap to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. It utilizes a cross-separator to maintain pair geometry. The cable is supplied on a 305-meter reel, facilitating installation. It meets Euroclass Dca-s2-d2-a1 fire ratings and UL CMP-LP 0.7A and CMR-LP 0.5A standards for plenum and riser applications, respectively.
