Panduit STP6X30MGR Copper Patch Cord Cat 6a Gray

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X30MGR is a shielded copper patch cord rated for Category 6a applications. It delivers the high-frequency performance required for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other demanding structured cabling deployments. The cord is finished in gray for easy identification in dense patch panel environments. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers use this patch cord to connect switches, patch panels, servers, and other active equipment in data centers, enterprise networks, and commercial building infrastructure.

This patch cord is suited for use in horizontal and equipment-room cabling segments where Cat 6a shielded performance is specified. It is appropriate for installations requiring compliance with TIA-568 Cat 6a shielded channel requirements and is commonly deployed in environments with elevated EMI where an unshielded cord would not meet system performance targets.

Key Features

• Category 6a rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz channel performance
• Shielded construction for use in high-EMI environments
• Copper conductor for reliable signal transmission
• Gray jacket for color-coded cable plant organization
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat 6a shielded structured cabling systems in data center and commercial network installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician in accordance with TIA-568 standards and applicable local codes. Power down or administratively disable the relevant switch port before connecting or disconnecting the cord where traffic-sensitive links are involved. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that jacket deformation occurs. Verify shield continuity and ground termination at the patch panel to maintain shielded system integrity.
