Panduit NK6APC7MYL Netkey Cat6a Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6APC7MYL is a Category 6A patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Built to CM (Communications Multipurpose) cable rating standards, this patch cord delivers the bandwidth and performance characteristics required for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed data applications. The NK6APC7MYL is a single-unit patch cord intended for use by low-voltage network technicians and licensed data communications installers working on horizontal cabling runs, patch panel terminations, and equipment connections.

This patch cord is suited for use in commercial buildings, data centers, server rooms, and structured cabling closets where Cat6a performance is required. The CM rating designates it for general-purpose in-building use in communications raceway and open cable pathways. It is a standard tool for network infrastructure buildouts and equipment patching in both new construction and retrofit installations.

Key Features

• Category 6A rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance
• CM-rated jacket suitable for general in-building communications use
• Sold as a single unit (EA), simplifying per-port procurement
• NetKey product family, designed for use within PANDUIT structured cabling systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat6a-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network equipment ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed data communications installer in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Do not bend the patch cord beyond its minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Ensure all connected patch panel ports and jack modules are rated for Cat6a to maintain system performance. De-energize connected equipment before servicing patch panel fields when working near live network hardware.
