Panduit STP6X3OR Copper Patch Cord Cat 6a Orange

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X3OR is a Category 6a copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in data centers, server rooms, and commercial network environments. Cat 6a cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission and is rated for frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it suitable for high-density, high-bandwidth applications. This patch cord ships as a single unit and is sized for standard patch panel to switch or device connections. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers for this type of cordage.

Cat 6a patch cords are used in horizontal and equipment room cabling segments where 10GBase-T performance is required. The orange jacket color provides easy visual identification and cable management in patching environments where color-coded infrastructure is in use. This cord is appropriate for both new installations and moves, adds, and changes in existing structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 or ISO 11801 standards.

Key Features

• Category 6a rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and frequencies up to 500 MHz
• Orange jacket for visual identification and color-coded patch management
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal integrity
• Single-unit packaging suitable for individual replacement or incremental deployment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for Category 6a structured cabling systems terminating at RJ45 patch panels and network switches.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers typically handle Cat 6a patch cord deployment. No tools are required for installation beyond standard cable management hardware. Follow TIA-568-C.2 guidelines for bend radius and strain relief when routing patch cords in equipment racks and patch panels. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that can degrade signal performance in augmented Category 6a cabling plants.
