Panduit STP6X45MIG Copper Patch Cord Cat 6a

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X45MIG 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 this patch cord a fit for high-density data centers, server rooms, and telecom closets. The shielded construction reduces alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, which is critical in installations where cable runs are tightly bundled. Network installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary trades that handle this component.

This patch cord is used in structured cabling systems that require Cat 6a performance, including 10GBase-T network runs in commercial office builds, data centers, and industrial network enclosures. It connects patch panels to switches, or switches to end devices, within the horizontal or equipment subsystem of a cabling infrastructure. The shielded design makes it appropriate for environments with elevated EMI exposure.

Key Features

• Cat 6a rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth
• Shielded twisted pair (STP) construction reduces crosstalk and EMI
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal integrity
• Designed for use in patch panel and switch port terminations
• Sold as a single unit (EA)

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Deactivate the switch port before connecting or disconnecting patch cords in live environments where possible. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket, and do not over-bundle shielded patch cords with hook-and-loop ties, as this can degrade shielding performance.
