Panduit STP6X40VL Copper Patch Cord Cat 6a

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X40VL is a Cat 6a shielded copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Cat 6a cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it a standard choice for high-density data center and horizontal cabling runs. This patch cord ships as a single unit and is intended for use by low-voltage cabling technicians and licensed electricians performing structured wiring work.

This patch cord is suited for use in commercial buildings, data centers, server rooms, and network closets where Cat 6a performance is required. It connects patch panels to switches, or end devices to wall jacks, in both new construction and retrofit applications. The shielded design makes it appropriate for environments with elevated electromagnetic interference.

Key Features

• Cat 6a rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth
• Shielded twisted pair (STP) construction for EMI resistance
• Copper conductor for reliable signal transmission
• Single-unit packaging for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat 6a shielded patch panels, keystone jacks, and switch ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or licensed electrician in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize connected equipment before patching or re-patching active ports where possible. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable, as this can degrade signal integrity. Shielded patch cords require a properly grounded shielded infrastructure to provide effective EMI protection.
