Panduit STP6X35BL Cat 6a Copper Patch Cord Blue

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X35BL is a Category 6a shielded copper patch cord designed for high-density structured cabling installations. It delivers reliable gigabit and 10-gigabit Ethernet connectivity in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise network environments. The shielded construction reduces alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, which is critical in tightly bundled cable runs. Electricians and low-voltage network installers use this patch cord to terminate horizontal cabling runs at patch panels or active equipment ports. The blue jacket provides color-coded circuit identification at a glance, simplifying port management in high-density environments.

This patch cord is suited for Category 6a structured cabling systems in both commercial and light industrial applications. It is used at the work area outlet, equipment room patch panel, or telecommunications room to connect network devices to the cabling infrastructure. Typical installations include server-to-switch connections, patch panel dress, and desktop or IP device drops. It ships as a single unit and is ready to install out of the package.

Key Features

• Category 6a rating supports 10-gigabit Ethernet applications
• Shielded construction reduces alien crosstalk and EMI in high-density runs
• Blue jacket enables color-coded port and circuit identification
• Copper conductor construction for standard 8P8C RJ45 termination compatibility
• Single-unit packaging for targeted replacement or small-scale installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use in Category 6a structured cabling systems terminated with standard 8P8C RJ45 keystone jacks and patch panel ports.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage installers and structured cabling technicians handle Cat 6a patch cord installation. No tools are required for plug-to-port connections, but cable management hardware should be used to maintain minimum bend radius and avoid kinking the shielded jacket. Follow TIA-568 standards for Category 6a channel performance. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling tension, as deformation of the shielded jacket can degrade signal integrity.
