Panduit STP6X2.5MBL Cat 6a Copper Patch Cord Blue

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X2.5MBL is a shielded copper patch cord rated for Category 6a network applications. It provides a reliable, low-loss connection between network equipment such as switches, patch panels, and servers in structured cabling installations. Cat 6a cabling supports data transmission up to 10 Gbps at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making this cord suitable for high-density, bandwidth-intensive environments. The blue jacket color assists with cable identification and cable management in dense rack deployments. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cord in both new installations and maintenance scenarios.

This patch cord is suited for use in commercial and enterprise network environments, including data centers, server rooms, telecommunications rooms, and office structured cabling systems. It connects end devices and patch panels within horizontal or backbone cabling infrastructure. Cat 6a performance requirements make this cord appropriate for environments running 10GBase-T Ethernet over copper cabling.

Key Features

• Category 6a rated for 10 Gbps data transmission up to 500 MHz
• Shielded construction reduces alien crosstalk and EMI interference
• Blue jacket color supports cable identification and color-coded management
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal integrity
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Category 6a shielded patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in structured cabling systems compliant with TIA-568 and ISO 11801 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or network cabling professional. Ensure all connected equipment is powered down or the relevant ports are inactive before making changes to live patch connections in sensitive network environments. Shielded patch cords require proper bonding to shielded jacks and panels to maintain ground continuity and EMI protection. Follow TIA-568 and local codes for structured cabling installation practices.
