Panduit STP6X3GR Cat 6a Copper Patch Cord Gray

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X3GR is a Cat 6a shielded copper patch cord designed for high-performance structured cabling installations. Cat 6a cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it a standard choice in data centers, enterprise networks, and commercial communications infrastructure. This patch cord is finished in gray, which aids in color-coded cable management. It is sold as a single unit and is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage technicians and network infrastructure professionals.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment-room patching in Cat 6a structured cabling systems. Typical applications include connecting patch panels to network switches, server connections in rack environments, and horizontal cross-connect runs in commercial and enterprise facilities. The shielded construction makes it appropriate for environments with elevated electromagnetic interference where unshielded cabling may underperform.

Key Features

• Cat 6a rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 500 MHz
• Shielded construction for use in high-EMI environments
• Gray jacket for color-coded cable plant management
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Single-unit packaging suitable for targeted patching needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for use in Cat 6a shielded structured cabling systems and compatible patch panels and keystone jack assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified low-voltage technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends and do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket during routing. Verify that patch panel and port shielding is properly bonded to maintain the shielded system integrity. Do not force connectors into ports; confirm locking tab engagement before finalizing the connection.
