Panduit NK6PC17YLY Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6PC17YLY is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Category 6 patch cords support data transmission up to 250 MHz and are used to connect network equipment such as switches, patch panels, and workstation outlets. This cord ships as a single unit and is suited for use in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and horizontal cabling runs where reliable, low-crosstalk performance is required. Network installers and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary trades that work with this product.

This patch cord is appropriate for use in both new construction and retrofit structured cabling projects. It fits within Category 6 channel and permanent link assemblies as defined by TIA-568 standards. Typical applications include equipment patching at the IDF or MDF level, desktop drops in commercial office environments, and AV or security system network connections where Cat6 performance is specified.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use in Category 6 structured cabling systems and compatible with Category 6 or higher rated jacks, patch panels, and keystone outlets.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers typically handle patch cord installation. No special tools are required beyond cable management hardware and label makers for identification. Follow TIA-568 bend radius guidelines and avoid sharp bends or pinching the cable during routing. Patch cords should not be used as permanent horizontal cabling runs in place of solid-conductor backbone or horizontal cable.
