Panduit STP6X8MIG Cat 6a Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP6X8MIG is a Cat 6a shielded copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial network environments. Cat 6a cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it a standard choice for high-density data centers, enterprise LANs, and telecom rooms. This patch cord provides a reliable, terminated connection between patch panels, switches, servers, and other active network equipment. Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure specialists following TIA-568 and BICSI structured cabling standards.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment-room applications where shielded cabling is required to meet EMI performance demands. Shielded Cat 6a is commonly specified in healthcare, industrial, and high-interference environments where unshielded cable may not meet channel performance requirements. The cord ships as a single unit and is ready for immediate deployment in new construction or retrofit cabling projects.

Key Features

• Cat 6a rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz channel performance
• Shielded construction for reduced electromagnetic interference
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Factory-terminated for consistent insertion loss and return loss performance
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

This patch cord is installed by low-voltage cabling technicians in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure all connected ports and panels are Cat 6a shielded to maintain full channel shielding continuity. Power down or place active ports in a maintenance state before disturbing live switch connections in critical network environments. Avoid sharp bend radii that exceed the cable minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation.
