Panduit STP6X35VL Copper Patch Cord Cat 6a

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X35VL is a Cat 6a shielded copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. This patch cord supports high-speed data transmission at the Cat 6a standard, providing the bandwidth and crosstalk performance required for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. It is sold as a single unit and is typically installed by low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals. The shielded construction helps reduce electromagnetic interference in dense cabling environments or areas with high electrical noise.

This patch cord is suited for use in commercial buildings, data centers, and enterprise network closets where Cat 6a performance is specified. It connects patch panels to network switches or active equipment within a structured cabling system. The violet color-coding assists with cable management and port identification in high-density installations. Installation typically follows TIA-568 structured cabling standards.

Key Features

• Cat 6a rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance
• Shielded twisted pair (STP) construction reduces electromagnetic interference
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal integrity
• Violet jacket color supports color-coded cable management
• Sold as a single patch cord per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for Cat 6a shielded structured cabling systems using compatible shielded patch panels and keystone jacks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician following TIA-568 structured cabling guidelines. Ensure patch panel ports and switch ports are clean and free of debris before seating the connector. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius for Cat 6a cabling, as this can degrade signal performance. Do not route alongside high-voltage electrical conduit without proper separation per applicable codes.
