Panduit NK6PC5GRY Cat 6 Utp Patch Cord 5 Feet

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK6PC5GRY is a Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Measuring 5 feet in length, this patch cord provides a reliable copper data link between network switches, patch panels, and end devices. It is built to meet Cat 6 performance standards, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth applications. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and network cabling contractors typically install this type of cable during infrastructure builds, moves, adds, and changes.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and backbone patch connections in data centers, server rooms, office environments, and industrial network closets. The gray jacket color supports color-coded cable management practices, making it easy to identify circuits at a glance. At 5 feet, it is a practical length for rack-to-rack or panel-to-switch runs in standard equipment cabinets and wall-mount enclosures.

Key Features

• Cat 6 UTP construction meets TIA-568 performance standards for Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T short-run applications
• 5-foot length suits typical patch panel to switch connections in standard network racks
• Gray jacket supports color-coded cable management in structured cabling systems
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat 6 and Cat 6A keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 ports in standard structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network cabling contractors install Cat 6 patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by ANSI/TIA-568 standards. No special tools are required for patch cord termination at modular ports. Inspect RJ45 connectors for damage before seating, and avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance.
