Panduit NK6APC12GY Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6APC12GY is a Cat6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in network infrastructure applications. Built to Cat6 performance standards, it supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission in both horizontal and equipment-side connections. This patch cord ships as a single unit and is sized for short-run patch panel to switch connections or intra-rack cable management. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and network installers typically handle Cat6 patch cord termination and routing in commercial and residential data environments.

This patch cord fits standard structured cabling deployments where Cat6 performance is required. It is suited for patch panel connections, network switch ports, and wall plate to equipment links in office, data center, and light commercial installations. The gray jacket color supports color-coded cable management schemes commonly used in rack and panel environments.

Key Features

• Cat6 performance rating supporting Gigabit Ethernet and 250 MHz bandwidth
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Gray jacket for use in color-coded cable management systems
• Short patch length suited for intra-rack and panel-to-switch connections
• Sold as a single unit for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use patch cord compatible with Cat6 and Cat6A patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 equipment ports in structured cabling systems meeting TIA-568 standards.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers handle Cat6 patch cord installation in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Route cables away from high-voltage runs to minimize electromagnetic interference. Do not bend cables below the minimum bend radius, and avoid sharp kinks or crushing that can degrade signal performance. Patch cords should be connected and disconnected only while ports are powered down where equipment sensitivity requires it.
