Panduit NK6APC1GY Netkey Cat6a Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6APC1GY 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 this cord suitable for high-bandwidth data center, server room, and horizontal distribution applications. The cord terminates in angled RJ45 connectors, a configuration that reduces cable bend radius stress at patch panels and switch ports. Licensed electricians, low-voltage cabling technicians, and network infrastructure contractors are the primary installers of this product.

This patch cord is intended for use in structured cabling systems that follow TIA-568-C.2 or ISO 11801 Cat6A channel specifications. It fits into Netkey patch panels and keystone systems, and is appropriate for high-density rack installations where cable management and airflow are priorities. The angled plug design is particularly well-suited to back-of-rack patching where straight plugs would protrude and restrict access.

Key Features

• Cat6A rating supports 10GBase-T applications up to 500 MHz
• Angled RJ45 plug configuration reduces cable stress at connection points
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Gray jacket color allows for color-coded cable management schemes
• Sold as individual unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fit for Cat6A structured cabling systems using RJ45 patch panels and network switches with 8P8C ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure professionals. No tools are required for patching; simply seat the RJ45 connectors fully until the locking tab clicks. Follow TIA-568 bend radius guidelines and avoid kinking the jacket. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius, and do not route patch cords through areas with high electromagnetic interference without appropriate shielding measures.
