Panduit PUO6X04BL-CEG Cat 6A Outdoor Cable

Overview

The Panduit PUO6X04BL-CEG is a 1000 ft spool of Cat 6A U/UTP bulk copper cable designed for outdoor, premise-run installations. It provides the necessary bandwidth for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, making it suitable for extending surveillance networks or data connectivity in environments exposed to the elements. The cable features a black Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) HDPE jacket, offering protection against UV exposure, abrasion, and fire hazards with a Euroclasse Cca rating.

Compatibility

This bulk cable is compatible with all Cat 6A (Class EA) rated connectivity hardware, including patch panels, connectors, and RJ45 jacks from Panduit's Pan-Net™ series and other manufacturers adhering to TIA/EIA standards. It is suitable for use in outdoor plant (OSP) environments and general premise wiring applications where Cat 6A performance is required.

Installation Notes

The cable construction includes an integrated separator to maintain pair geometry, crucial for achieving optimal Cat 6A performance. The solid bare copper conductors (23 AWG) require termination using appropriate IDC connectors or plugs designed for solid conductors. Ensure proper cable management practices are followed to avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius (not specified in evidence) to prevent signal degradation. The LSZH jacket is intended for environments where flame retardancy and low smoke emission are critical.
