Panduit STP6X2OR Cat 6a Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X2OR 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, telecommunications rooms, and horizontal cabling runs. This patch cord provides a terminated, ready-to-install connection between network equipment and patch panels or active devices. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network infrastructure installers are the typical trade professionals who specify and deploy this type of cable.

This patch cord is suited for use in structured cabling systems that require Cat 6a performance per ANSI/TIA-568 standards. It is appropriate for 10GBase-T applications in both new construction and retrofit projects. The orange jacket color aids in cable identification and color-coded patch management within equipment racks and telecommunications enclosures. It is sold individually as a single unit.

Key Features

• Cat 6a rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth
• Shielded construction helps reduce alien crosstalk in high-density installations
• Orange jacket color supports color-coded cable management practices
• Ready-to-install terminated patch cord eliminates field termination
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat 6a-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in structured cabling systems built to ANSI/TIA-568 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. Power down or place active equipment in a safe state before disturbing live patch connections where possible. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that they deform the cable jacket. Follow TIA-568 and applicable local low-voltage codes when planning patch cord routing and rack management.
