Panduit NK6APC15MBU Cat6a Patch Cord 15M

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6APC15MBU is a Cat6a patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Built to Cat6a performance standards, this cord supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications and is rated for in-building horizontal and backbone cabling runs where a CM (Communications Multipurpose) cable jacket rating is required. The cord ships as a single unit and is intended for use by network technicians, low-voltage cabling contractors, and IT infrastructure professionals who need a reliable, standards-compliant connection between patch panels, switches, and end devices.

This patch cord is suited for commercial office buildouts, data center patching, and structured cabling projects following TIA-568 standards. The CM jacket rating makes it appropriate for installation in general-purpose communications pathways and spaces. It provides a finished, tested interconnect link in horizontal cabling zones, equipment rooms, and work area outlet connections.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance rating supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at up to 500 MHz bandwidth
• CM-rated jacket suitable for in-building communications cable pathways
• 15-meter length accommodates longer equipment room and cross-connect runs
• Factory-terminated and tested for consistent insertion loss and return loss performance
• Sold as a single unit for precise quantity ordering on structured cabling projects

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure professionals. Power down or disconnect active network equipment at the relevant port before patching to avoid link disruption during installation. Follow TIA-568 and local building codes governing communications cabling routing and pathway fill. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable, and avoid sharp bends or kinks that can degrade signal performance.
