Panduit NK6PC12ORY Category 6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6PC12ORY is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Category 6 patch cords carry data at frequencies up to 250 MHz and support Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications over copper. This cord provides the physical layer connection between patch panels, network switches, and end-user devices. It is installed by low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure specialists as part of a complete structured cabling system.

The NK6PC12ORY is suited for use in telecommunications rooms, data centers, and horizontal cabling runs in commercial buildings. It connects active network equipment to patch panels or wall jacks within the same rack or across short distances. The orange jacket color supports color-coded port identification and cable management practices common in high-density network installations.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rated to 250 MHz for Gigabit and 10GbE support
• Copper conductor construction for reliable high-speed data transmission
• Orange jacket for color-coded cable management and port identification
• Sold as an individual unit for precise quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental patch cord for Category 6 structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade Category 6 performance. Ensure both termination points are Category 6 rated components to maintain end-to-end channel performance. Do not stretch, staple, or bundle patch cords with high-voltage cables.
