Panduit NK6PC17GYY Category 6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6PC17GYY is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Category 6 patch cords carry data signals between patch panels, network switches, and end-user devices, forming the horizontal or cross-connect links in a structured cabling system. This cord is sold as a single unit and is installed by low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure professionals who require reliable, standards-compliant copper connectivity.

This patch cord is suited for data center patching, telecommunications rooms, and horizontal cabling applications where Category 6 performance is required. It connects network equipment at patch panels and work area outlets in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and similar structured cabling environments. The gray color coding supports organized cable management and visual identification in high-density installations.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance for high-speed copper network connections
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Gray jacket color for visual cable management and identification
• Sold individually as a single patch cord unit
• Designed for use in structured cabling systems per TIA-568 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for use in Category 6 structured cabling systems with compatible RJ45 patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians install Category 6 patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards. Power down or place network equipment in a safe state before disconnecting active patch cords in critical infrastructure. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable to preserve signal integrity. Do not over-bundle patch cords with cable ties, as excessive compression can degrade Category 6 performance.
