Panduit NK6PC3RDY Cat6 Utp Patch Cable 3 Ft Red

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6PC3RDY is a Cat6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable in a 3-foot length with a red jacket. Designed for structured cabling installations, it provides reliable copper connectivity between network switches, patch panels, and end devices. The red jacket color supports color-coded port and circuit identification, a common practice in data center and telecom room environments. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers work with this cable type for both new installations and maintenance of existing horizontal and vertical cable runs.

This patch cable is suited for commercial and residential network infrastructure where Cat6 performance is required. Typical applications include data center patch fields, telecommunications rooms, office network closets, and structured wiring panels. The 3-foot length is a standard choice for short equipment-to-panel or switch-to-device connections within a rack or cabinet.

Key Features

• Cat6 UTP construction supports Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet at short distances
• 3-foot length suitable for rack-to-rack and panel-to-switch connections
• Red jacket enables color-coded circuit identification and port management
• Unshielded design is compatible with standard RJ45 keystone jacks and patch panels
• Single-unit packaging allows precise quantity ordering for installs and service calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use Cat6 UTP patch cable compatible with RJ45 patch panels, network switches, and Cat6 structured cabling systems following TIA-568 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure professionals. No tools are required for standard plug-and-play insertion into RJ45 ports. Follow TIA-568 and local low-voltage wiring codes when organizing cables within a rack or telecom enclosure. Avoid sharp bends or exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain signal integrity.
