Panduit NK6APC1BL Netkey Cat6a Patch Cord 1 Foot

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6APC1BL is a Netkey series Cat6A copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Cat6A cabling supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it the standard choice for high-density data center and telecom room patching. This cord is sold individually and is intended for use with Netkey modular patch panels and faceplates. Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure contractors who require consistent, standards-compliant patch connections at the rack or workstation level.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment patching in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 standards. Common install scenarios include data center switch-to-panel runs, workstation drops, and server room cross-connects. The blue jacket color aids in color-coded cable management schemes, which is standard practice in high-density rack environments. It integrates directly into Panduit Netkey modular systems for a clean, unified installation.

Key Features

• Cat6A rating supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Blue jacket for easy identification in color-coded patching environments
• Sold individually, one cord per unit
• Designed for Netkey series patch panels and connectivity components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch component for use within Panduit Netkey structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians should verify panel port assignments and labeling before patching to avoid mislabeled runs. No tools are required for plug-in patch cord termination, but all active network equipment should be identified before repatching live circuits to minimize service disruption. Follow TIA-568 color-coding and labeling practices for maintainable installations.
