Panduit NK6PC40GYY Copper Patch Cord Cat6

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6PC40GYY is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Patch cords at this specification carry Ethernet data signals between patch panels, switches, and networked equipment. Category 6 performance supports data transmission at up to 250 MHz, making this cord suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and similar high-speed network applications. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling contractors are the primary installers for this type of component.

This patch cord is suited for use in network closets, telecommunications rooms, and data centers where structured cabling systems require flexible jumper connections. It is used to connect active network equipment to patch panels or outlet ports. The NK6PC40GYY is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both new installations and maintenance work on existing Cat6 cabling infrastructure.

Key Features

• Category 6 copper construction supports high-speed Ethernet and network data applications
• Flexible patch cord format for use between patch panels, switches, and network jacks
• Single-unit packaging allows for targeted stocking and replacement
• Gray color coding for easy visual identification in dense patch panel environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard jumper for use in Category 6 structured cabling systems with compatible RJ45 patch panels and keystone jack outlets.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or certified network cabling contractors. Ensure all active network equipment is powered down or the relevant port is inactive before replacing patch cords in a live rack to avoid unintended network disruption. Follow TIA-568 cabling standards for proper patch cord routing and bend radius. Avoid sharp bends or tight bundling that can degrade Category 6 signal performance.
