Panduit NK6APC10MYL Netkey Cat6a Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6APC10MYL is a Cat6a patch cord from the Netkey series, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Built to Cat6a performance standards, it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications and delivers reliable signal integrity across its full length. The cord carries a CM (Communications Multipurpose) cable rating, making it suitable for in-building horizontal runs and patch panel connections. Network technicians and low-voltage installers rely on this patch cord to terminate equipment racks, switches, patch panels, and wall jacks in both new construction and retrofit projects.

This patch cord is intended for use in horizontal cabling and equipment room environments where Cat6a performance is required. It is well-suited for data centers, server rooms, and commercial office structured cabling systems. The Netkey series integrates with PANDUIT's modular cabling infrastructure, making it a straightforward choice when standardizing on a single-vendor cabling system. The yellow jacket provides quick visual identification for cable management and color-coded port assignments in high-density installations.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat6a-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in structured cabling systems meeting TIA-568 Cat6a requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling contractors. Ensure patch panel and equipment ports are Cat6a rated to maintain channel performance. Avoid sharp bends below the cable's minimum bend radius and do not over-cinch cable ties, as either can degrade signal performance. Reference TIA-568 standards for proper patch cord length limits within a structured cabling channel.
