Panduit STP6X10MBL Cat 6a Copper Patch Cord Blue

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X10MBL is a Cat 6a copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Cat 6a cabling supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making this cord suitable for high-density data center racks, telecom closets, and horizontal cross-connect applications. The blue jacket color aids in visual cable management and port identification. This patch cord is sold individually and is installed by network technicians, low-voltage cabling contractors, and IT infrastructure professionals.

This patch cord is used in Cat 6a structured cabling systems where shielded copper connections are required between patch panels, switches, routers, and network equipment. It is well suited for both new installations and upgrade projects in commercial office buildings, data centers, and server rooms. The blue color designation is commonly used to identify specific network segments or port groupings in color-coded cable management schemes.

Key Features

• Cat 6a rated for 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 500 MHz

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling contractors or qualified IT technicians in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure all connected ports and panels are rated Cat 6a or higher to maintain system performance. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket. De-energize or power down active equipment before servicing patch panel connections where required by site safety policy.
