Panduit STP6X7MBU Copper Patch Cord Cat 6a

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X7MBU is a Cat 6a shielded copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise environments. Cat 6a cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making this cord suitable for high-density data center and telecommunications room applications. The blue jacket color aids in visual cable management and port identification. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers of this type of patch cord.

This patch cord is used in horizontal and backbone cabling systems where Cat 6a performance is required. Typical applications include patch panel to switch connections, workstation drops, and equipment rack inter-connections in both commercial office and data center environments. The shielded construction helps reduce alien crosstalk in high-density cable runs where multiple Cat 6a cords are routed in close proximity.

Key Features

• Cat 6a rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance
• Shielded twisted pair (STP) construction for reduced alien crosstalk
• Blue jacket for visual port and circuit identification
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for use with Cat 6a shielded patch panels, keystone jacks, and structured cabling systems meeting TIA-568 Cat 6a requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or electricians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure all connected patch panel ports and jacks are Cat 6a rated to maintain system performance. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable, and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that they deform the jacket. Power down connected equipment before servicing patch cords in live production environments when possible.
