Panduit NK6APC9BU Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6APC9BU is a Cat6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Built to Category 6 performance standards, this patch cord supports Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed data applications. It is part of the Netkey product family, which is engineered for use with Netkey modular patch panels and keystone jacks. Licensed low-voltage technicians, network installers, and data cabling contractors are the primary installers of this component in horizontal or backbone cabling runs.

This patch cord is suited for data center, office, and light industrial structured cabling systems where Cat6 performance is required. It connects workstations, switches, patch panels, and other active network equipment in both new construction and retrofit applications. The cord ships as a single unit and fits standard RJ45 termination points in 568-compliant cabling infrastructures.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10/100/1000BASE-T applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Netkey series compatibility for use with Netkey patch panels and jacks
• Blue jacket color for easy visual identification and cable management
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for Cat6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 connectivity in 568-compliant installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active equipment before servicing patch panel ports or switch connections. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Verify patch cord category rating matches or exceeds the installed cabling plant category.
