Panduit STPCH20MBBL Copper Patch Cord Cat 5e

Product Description

The PANDUIT STPCH20MBBL is a Cat 5e copper patch cord designed for structured cabling applications in commercial and residential network installations. Cat 5e cable supports data transmission speeds up to 1000 Mbps and reduces crosstalk compared to standard Cat 5. This patch cord is used to connect network switches, patch panels, and end devices in both horizontal and equipment-room cabling runs. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cord as a flexible, ready-to-terminate interconnect in data closets and server rooms.

The STPCH20MBBL is suited for use in commercial office networks, data centers, and structured cabling systems where Cat 5e performance is required. It is appropriate for horizontal patch applications, switch-to-panel connections, and workstation drops. The cord ships in a unit quantity of one and is sold individually, making it easy to order exact quantities for a specific installation scope.

Key Features

• Cat 5e performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and reduces alien crosstalk
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Pre-terminated and ready to install out of packaging
• Sold individually for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and interconnect cord for Cat 5e structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 patch panel and switch ports.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically deploy patch cords during cable termination and certification phases of a structured cabling project. Follow TIA-568 bend radius and strain relief guidelines when routing cords in patch panels and cable managers. Avoid sharp bends or tight tie-wraps that can degrade signal performance. Verify end-to-end continuity with a cable tester after installation.
