Panduit NK6APC4BL Cat6a Copper Patch Cord 4 Foot

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6APC4BL is a Cat6A copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial network environments. This patch cord delivers reliable high-speed data transmission at the Cat6A performance tier, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The 4-foot length suits short rack-to-switch or patch panel connections, and the blue jacket aids in color-coded cable management. Licensed low-voltage electricians and network cabling technicians are the primary installers for this type of structured cabling hardware.

This patch cord is suited for use in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and horizontal cabling runs where Cat6A performance is specified. It connects network equipment such as patch panels, switches, and end-user devices in both new construction and retrofit cabling projects. The NK6APC4BL is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for any installation requiring a short-run, high-performance copper patch cable at the 10GbE tier.

Key Features

• Cat6A performance tier supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission
• Copper conductor construction for dependable signal integrity
• 4-foot length designed for short patch panel and rack connections
• Blue jacket facilitates color-coded cable plant organization
• Single-unit packaging allows per-port procurement flexibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure specialists. Verify that all connected jacks, patch panels, and switches are rated for Cat6A before installation to maintain channel performance. Avoid sharp bends or exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable, as this can degrade signal performance. Follow applicable ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards for proper installation practices.
