Panduit STP6X4VL Copper Patch Cord Cat 6a

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X4VL is a Cat 6a 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 the standard choice for high-density data centers, server rooms, and advanced network closets. This patch cord provides a terminated, ready-to-install connection between patch panels, switches, and networked equipment. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers of this type of cabling hardware.

This patch cord is suited for use in commercial structured cabling systems where Cat 6a performance is specified. Typical applications include horizontal and equipment bay connections within telecommunications rooms, data centers, and enterprise LAN infrastructure. The cord is sold individually and fits standard RJ45 patch panel ports and network switch ports conforming to Cat 6a specifications.

Key Features

• Cat 6a rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and frequencies up to 500 MHz
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Factory-terminated patch cord for direct, tool-free installation
• Individual unit packaging for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat 6a-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches using standard RJ45 ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and licensed electricians install Cat 6a patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by ANSI/TIA-568 standards. De-energize connected network equipment before reconfiguring active patch panel connections where possible. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius specified for Cat 6a cabling to maintain signal integrity. Do not cinch cable ties excessively tight, as compression can degrade Cat 6a performance.
