Panduit STP6X30MBU Copper Patch Cord Cat 6a

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X30MBU is a Cat 6a shielded copper patch cord designed for high-performance structured cabling installations. It provides reliable data transmission at speeds and frequencies required by Category 6a standards, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The blue jacket aids in visual cable identification and organization within patch panels, server racks, and network enclosures. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cord to terminate structured cabling runs and connect active equipment in commercial and enterprise environments. The shielded construction helps reduce alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in dense cable pathways.

This patch cord is suited for use in commercial data centers, enterprise network closets, and structured cabling systems requiring Cat 6a performance. It connects patch panels to switches, servers to wall outlets, or active equipment to distribution frames. The blue color designation supports color-coded patching schemes used in cable management standards and documentation practices commonly followed in IT and low-voltage installations.

Key Features

• Cat 6a rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance
• Shielded twisted pair (STP) construction reduces electromagnetic interference and alien crosstalk
• Blue jacket supports color-coded cable management and easy visual identification
• Copper conductor construction for dependable signal integrity
• Terminated and factory-tested for plug-and-play installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat 6a shielded structured cabling systems and compatible shielded RJ45 patch panels and keystone jacks.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or network infrastructure professionals. Verify that all connected patch panels, keystone jacks, and switches are rated for Cat 6a shielded cabling to maintain system performance. Ensure proper grounding of shielded components in accordance with applicable TIA-568 and NEC guidelines. Avoid sharp bends beyond the minimum bend radius of the cable to prevent signal degradation.
