Panduit STP6X19BL Copper Patch Cord Cat 6a Blue

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X19BL is a Cat 6a shielded 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 it a reliable choice for high-density data centers, server rooms, and demanding network closets. This patch cord ships in blue for easy visual identification and port management. Network technicians and low-voltage contractors use this cord to terminate equipment connections at patch panels, switches, and network interface cards.

The STP6X19BL is suited for horizontal and equipment-bay cabling in both new construction and retrofit applications. Blue color coding supports lane or VLAN identification practices common in structured cabling deployments. It is sold individually, making it practical for targeted replacements or small-scale additions without committing to bulk quantities.

Key Features

• Cat 6a rated shielded twisted pair (STP) construction supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance
• Blue jacket color supports visual port and circuit management in patch fields
• Copper conductor construction ensures low insertion loss and reliable signal integrity
• Sold as individual unit for flexible procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fitment patch cord for Cat 6a structured cabling systems using shielded RJ45 terminations in commercial and enterprise network installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling contractors. Shielded patch cords require properly grounded shielded patch panels and jacks to maintain shield continuity and avoid ground loops. Follow TIA-568 standards for bend radius and cable management. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius or cinch cable ties so tightly that the jacket deforms, as this can degrade Cat 6a performance.
