Panduit NK6PC3VLY Cat 6 Utp Patch Cable 3 Ft

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6PC3VLY is a Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable measuring 3 feet in length. Designed for structured cabling installations, it provides the high-speed data transmission performance required in modern network environments. This cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and other Cat 6 applications, making it a reliable choice for connecting patch panels to switches, or endpoints to wall jacks. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling professionals install this cable in data centers, server rooms, and commercial or residential network closets where a short, organized run is needed.

The NK6PC3VLY is suited for horizontal or equipment-bay patch applications within Cat 6 structured cabling systems. Its 3-foot length is commonly used for short equipment-to-panel connections inside network racks and enclosures, keeping cable management clean and minimizing excess slack. It is appropriate for both new installations and maintenance work in commercial and light industrial environments.

Key Features

• Category 6 UTP construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and standard Cat 6 performance requirements
• 3-foot length designed for short patch runs in racks, enclosures, and equipment bays
• Unshielded twisted pair design for use in standard low-EMI network environments
• Sold individually (1 cable per unit) for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable compatible with Cat 6 keystones, patch panels, and RJ45 jacks meeting TIA-568 standards in standard structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation of Cat 6 patch cables is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or data communications cabling technicians. Patch the cable only between RJ45-compatible Cat 6 or better ports to maintain channel performance ratings. Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or exceeding the minimum bend radius, as these can degrade signal integrity. Power down or place active ports in an inactive state before handling cables in live rack environments where electrostatic discharge is a concern.
