Panduit STP6X3.5MGR Copper Patch Cord Cat 6a

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X3.5MGR is a shielded copper patch cord rated for Category 6a network cabling applications. It provides high-frequency signal transmission suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet installations in structured cabling environments. The cord ships as an individual unit and is intended for use by low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure installers. Cat 6a shielded construction reduces alien crosstalk and supports bandwidth requirements up to 500 MHz, making it a reliable choice for high-density copper patching in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise LAN closets.

This patch cord is used in horizontal and backbone copper cabling systems where shielded infrastructure is specified. Typical installations include patch panel to switch connections, server to top-of-rack switch links, and workstation drops in shielded structured cabling plants. The green color coding supports organized port management in multi-circuit patching environments commonly found in commercial and enterprise network buildouts.

Key Features

• Category 6a shielded construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Copper conductor provides reliable high-frequency signal integrity
• Green jacket color aids visual port identification and cable management
• Sold individually, allowing flexible quantity ordering per project scope
• Shielded design reduces alien crosstalk in high-density cabling environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use patch cord for Category 6a shielded structured cabling systems requiring copper media connectivity.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians should verify that the shielded patch cord is used only in fully shielded cabling plants where shield continuity is maintained from end to end. Deactivate or deprovision the relevant switch port before disconnecting active links to avoid network disruption. Follow TIA-568 and applicable local codes for patch cord bend radius and strain relief requirements. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius specified for Cat 6a shielded cordage during dressing and routing.
