Panduit PUR6AV04BL-G Bulk Copper Cable

Overview

The Panduit PUR6AV04BL-G is a 1000-foot (305m) spool of Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) bulk copper cable. Designed for structured cabling systems in enterprise data centers and commercial buildings, this cable supports high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Its Riser (CMR) flammability rating makes it suitable for use within walls and between floors in non-plenum spaces, ensuring compliance with building codes for horizontal cable runs. The 23 AWG solid copper conductors provide robust performance and reliable connectivity for demanding network applications.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with standard RJ45 connectors and patch panels that meet Category 6A performance standards. It is compatible with all network equipment supporting 10GBASE-T, including switches, routers, and network interface cards from major manufacturers. For optimal performance and to achieve the full 10 Gbps bandwidth, ensure all connecting hardware (patch panels, connectors, patch cords) are also rated for Category 6A.

Installation Notes

The cable features 23 AWG solid conductors, which offer superior electrical performance but require careful handling to avoid over-bending or crushing. Ensure proper termination techniques are followed when using RJ45 connectors or terminating onto patch panels to maintain signal integrity and meet Category 6A specifications. The Riser (CMR) rating dictates its use in vertical pathways or pathways outside of environmental air spaces as defined by building codes.
