Panduit STP6X40OR Cat 6a Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X40OR is a Cat 6a copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in data centers, server rooms, and commercial network environments. Built to Category 6a standards, it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission and delivers the shielding performance required in high-density or electrically noisy environments. This cord is finished in orange, making it easy to identify and trace in busy patch panels. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers for this type of component.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment-room cabling applications where Cat 6a performance is specified. Orange jacket color is commonly used in structured cabling color-coding schemes to designate specific network segments, VLANs, or circuit types. It is sold individually as a single unit and is appropriate for both new installation and moves, adds, and changes in existing cabling infrastructure.

Key Features

• Category 6a rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth
• Shielded twisted pair construction reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference
• Orange jacket aids in cable identification and color-coded patch management
• Copper conductor construction ensures reliable signal integrity
• Single-unit packaging allows flexible quantity ordering for service calls and small installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for Cat 6a shielded structured cabling systems using compatible shielded RJ45 patch panels and keystone jacks.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage cabling contractors or network technicians. Ensure that patch panels, keystone jacks, and switches at both ends are rated for Cat 6a shielded terminations before connecting this cord. Shielded patch cords require a properly grounded shielded infrastructure to deliver full interference rejection benefits. Follow TIA-568 and applicable local codes for structured cabling installations.
