Panduit NK6APC1MBU Cat6a Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6APC1MBU is a Cat6a patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial network environments. This cable supports high-speed data transmission at Category 6A performance levels, making it suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications over copper. The NK6APC1MBU is part of the Netkey product family and is sold as a single unit. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers use this patch cord to connect equipment at patch panels, switches, and network outlets in both new construction and retrofit scenarios.

This patch cord is intended for use in commercial data centers, server rooms, enterprise LAN environments, and structured cabling systems requiring Cat6a-rated performance. It is well suited for horizontal and equipment connections in raised-floor or overhead cable tray systems. Installation teams working to TIA-568 or ISO 11801 structured cabling standards will find this cord a compatible fit for Cat6a channel deployments.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance rating supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet over copper
• CM-rated jacket suitable for in-building horizontal runs
• Sold individually as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing
• Part of the Netkey structured cabling system for consistent channel performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for Cat6a structured cabling systems and patch panels meeting TIA-568-C.2-1 or equivalent Category 6A channel specifications.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and registered communications distribution designers typically install Cat6a patch cords as part of a certified channel. Avoid sharp bends beyond the minimum bend radius and do not cinch cable ties tightly, as either condition can degrade signal performance. Ensure patch panel ports and outlet jacks are fully seated before making measurements. Work should conform to TIA-568 standards and applicable local codes.
