Panduit STP6X25IG Copper Patch Cord Cat 6a

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X25IG is a shielded copper patch cord built to Cat 6a specifications, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial network environments. Cat 6a cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it suitable for high-density data centers, server rooms, and enterprise wiring closets. This patch cord is sold as a single unit and is intended for use by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure specialists who require reliable, standards-compliant connectivity in demanding installations.

This patch cord fits applications where shielded cabling is required to mitigate electromagnetic interference. Typical install scenarios include data centers, telecommunications rooms, industrial control panels, and commercial office infrastructure where Cat 6a performance is specified. It is used to connect patch panels to switches, or patch panels to equipment ports, within structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 or ISO 11801 standards.

Key Features

• Cat 6a rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 500 MHz
• Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
• Copper conductor for reliable signal transmission
• Sold individually as a single patch cord unit
• Suitable for use in commercial, industrial, and data center cabling infrastructure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit patch cord for Cat 6a shielded structured cabling systems using standard shielded RJ45 terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure that patch panel ports, switch ports, and cable management hardware are all rated for Cat 6a shielded use before installing. Do not bend the cord below its minimum bend radius, and avoid sharp kinks or crimps that can degrade signal performance. De-energize connected equipment before handling patch connections in live rack environments where electrostatic discharge is a concern.
