Panduit STP6X3.5MOR Cat 6a Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X3.5MOR 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 this patch cord suitable for high-bandwidth data center, server room, and horizontal cable runs. The orange jacket color aids in visual cable management and zone identification on patch panels and switch ports. Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage or data communications cabling technicians following TIA-568 standards.

This patch cord is used in structured cabling systems that require shielded Cat 6a performance. Typical applications include data center interconnects, telecommunications rooms, and high-density patch panel fields where interference mitigation and channel performance are critical. The orange jacket is commonly used to designate specific network zones or VLAN segments, simplifying moves, adds, and changes in live environments.

Key Features

• Cat 6a rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth
• Shielded construction reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in dense cable environments
• Orange jacket color supports color-coded cable management practices
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Sold individually for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat 6a shielded patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in structured cabling systems compliant with TIA-568-C.2-1 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down any connected network equipment before disconnecting active patch cords in sensitive environments. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain shielded pair integrity. Verify shield continuity and grounding at both termination points when working in shielded cabling infrastructures.
