* Horizontal cable lengths over 90 meters will not pass Permanent Link testing with a field tester, however the
total channel will pass Channel testing and Ethernet traffic.
Note: Beyond 20 meters the maximum length of 28 AWG patch cords may be limited by DC Loop Resistance
specifications. Panduit’s 28 AWG Category 6A performance patch cords are limited to a maximum length of 40
meters in point-to-point applications (using only patch, with no horizontal cable).
