Panduit STP6X6GR Copper Patch Cord Cat 6a Gray

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X6GR is a shielded copper patch cord rated for Category 6a performance. It provides high-speed structured cabling connections in data centers, server rooms, and commercial network installations. Cat 6a cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it appropriate for demanding network environments. The gray jacket allows for color-coded cable management in patching applications. This patch cord is installed by low-voltage technicians, network cabling contractors, and IT infrastructure professionals working within structured cabling systems.

The STP6X6GR is suited for horizontal and equipment-room patching in commercial and enterprise network environments. It connects patch panels to switches, servers, or other active equipment in 19-inch rack and cabinet installations. The shielded construction helps reduce electromagnetic interference in environments with high cable density or nearby electrical equipment. Gray color coding supports organized, standardized patch field layouts.

Key Features

• Category 6a rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance
• Shielded twisted pair (STP) construction for EMI reduction
• Copper conductor for reliable signal transmission
• Gray jacket for color-coded cable management
• Sold as individual unit for flexible patching configurations

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Verify that all connected ports and patch panels are also rated for Cat 6a shielded terminations before deployment. Avoid sharp bends or exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable. Do not remove or damage the shield termination at either connector end, as this will compromise EMI performance.
