Panduit NK5EPC5YLY Cat5e Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK5EPC5YLY is a Category 5e copper patch cord designed for structured cabling applications in commercial and light industrial network environments. This patch cord provides reliable copper connectivity for data networking systems, supporting standard Cat5e performance requirements. It is sold as a single unit and is installed by low-voltage cabling technicians, IT infrastructure professionals, and network contractors during patch panel termination and equipment rack cabling work.

This patch cord is suited for use in network distribution frames, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and equipment racks where Cat5e copper cabling infrastructure is in place. It bridges patch panels to network switches, patch panels to wall jacks, or active equipment to structured cabling termination points in both new installations and retrofit projects.

Key Features

• Category 5e rated copper construction for standard Ethernet network performance
• Designed for structured cabling patching applications in commercial environments
• Sold individually for flexible quantity purchasing on service calls or installations
• Compatible with standard Cat5e patch panel ports and keystone jack systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for Category 5e structured cabling patch panel systems and network equipment ports using standard copper RJ45 connectivity.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians typically install patch cords as part of structured cabling system commissioning or maintenance. No special tools are required beyond standard network installation equipment. Follow TIA-568 and local low-voltage wiring codes for structured cabling installations. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable, as exceeding the minimum bend radius can degrade Cat5e signal performance.
