Panduit NK6PC4BUY CAT6 Utp Patch Cable 4 Ft Blue

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6PC4BUY is a Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable in blue, measuring 4 feet in length. Designed for structured cabling applications, this patch cord connects network equipment to patch panels, switches, wall outlets, and other RJ45-terminated ports. CAT6 cabling supports data transmission up to 250 MHz bandwidth, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit short-run deployments. Network technicians and low-voltage installers rely on factory-terminated patch cords like this one to ensure consistent performance and eliminate field-termination variables in both new installations and maintenance scenarios.

This patch cable is appropriate for use in commercial and residential structured cabling environments, including data centers, server rooms, office networks, and telecommunications closets. The 4-foot length suits short horizontal runs between patch panels and active equipment within standard equipment racks or wall-mount enclosures. The blue jacket color supports color-coded cable management schemes commonly used to distinguish network segments, VLANs, or service types in organized cabling infrastructures.

Key Features

• CAT6 rated for performance up to 250 MHz, supporting Gigabit and 10GBase-T short-run applications
• UTP construction with no shielding required in standard low-interference environments
• 4-foot length provides a clean, managed run for rack-to-panel or equipment-to-outlet connections
• Blue jacket facilitates color-coded cable management in structured cabling deployments
• Factory-terminated RJ45 connectors eliminate field-termination inconsistencies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style CAT6 patch cord compatible with standard RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switch ports in structured cabling systems conforming to TIA-568 CAT6 specifications.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically handle CAT6 patch cord deployment. No specialized tools are required for connecting factory-terminated patch cords. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable and do not route patch cords alongside high-voltage conductors to prevent signal interference. Follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards for proper cable management and labeling practices.
