Panduit STP6X40MYL Copper Patch Cord Cat 6a

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X40MYL is a shielded copper patch cord rated for Category 6a structured cabling applications. It is designed to support high-speed network infrastructure in commercial and industrial environments where signal integrity and electromagnetic interference rejection are critical. Cat 6a cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making this cord a fit for demanding data center and enterprise network deployments. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cord to terminate patch panels, switches, and active equipment in structured cabling systems.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and vertical cable management in commercial buildings, data centers, server rooms, and telecommunications rooms. It terminates structured cabling runs at the patch panel or equipment port level and is handled by low-voltage technicians and network infrastructure installers. The yellow jacket aids in visual identification and cable management in dense patching environments.

Key Features

• Category 6a rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth
• Shielded construction for rejection of electromagnetic interference in noisy environments
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Yellow jacket for easy visual cable identification in patch fields
• Sold as a single unit, ready to install out of the package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for use with Category 6a shielded patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in structured cabling systems compliant with TIA-568 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Verify that all patch panels and equipment ports are also rated for Cat 6a and shielded to maintain full system performance. Avoid sharp bends or exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable, as this can degrade signal performance. Do not force connectors into ports; RJ45 plugs should seat and latch cleanly without excessive force.
