Panduit STP6X25BU Copper Patch Cord Cat 6a

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X25BU is a Cat 6a copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial network environments. Cat 6a supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise wiring closets. The blue jacket color aids in cable identification and organized patch panel management. This cord is sold as a single unit and is installed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure professionals.

This patch cord is used in horizontal and backbone structured cabling systems where Cat 6a performance is required. Typical applications include patching between network switches, patch panels, and end-user equipment in both new construction and retrofit projects. The shielded twisted-pair construction provides additional protection against electromagnetic interference in dense cabling environments.

Key Features

• Cat 6a performance supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Blue jacket for easy cable identification and color-coded patching
• Shielded twisted-pair design for EMI resistance in high-density installations
• Sold as a single cord per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use patch cord for Cat 6a structured cabling systems using shielded twisted-pair infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure shielded connectors and patch panels are properly bonded to ground to maintain shield continuity and EMI rejection. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable minimum bend radius during routing. Power down connected equipment before swapping patch cords in live racks when practical.
