Panduit NK6APC40GR Netkey Cat6a Patch Cord 40 Foot

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6APC40GR is a Cat6a patch cord from the Netkey structured cabling system. It provides high-performance copper connectivity for data network installations requiring reliable gigabit and 10-gigabit Ethernet performance. The cord carries a CM (Communications Multipurpose) cable rating, making it suitable for in-building horizontal runs and equipment connections. At 40 feet in length, it bridges longer distances between patch panels and active network equipment. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cord in enterprise, commercial, and institutional cabling projects.

This patch cord fits structured cabling environments where Cat6a performance is specified. It is used in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and general office environments to connect switches, servers, patch panels, and other network hardware. The Netkey product family is designed to work within PANDUIT's modular cabling infrastructure, making this cord a natural fit for installations already using Netkey faceplates, jacks, and panels.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. Ensure patch panel ports and switch ports are free of debris before seating connectors. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that can degrade Cat6a signal performance. Installations should follow TIA-568 and local building code requirements for communications cabling.
