Panduit UTP28CH10VL Cat 5e Copper Patch Cord 10 Foot

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28CH10VL is a Cat 5e copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and light industrial environments. This unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable delivers reliable network connectivity at Category 5e performance standards, supporting data transmission up to 100 MHz. At 10 feet in length, it is well suited for horizontal runs between patch panels and switches, or for equipment connections at workstation drops. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians install this type of patch cord as part of structured cabling systems compliant with TIA-568 standards.

This patch cord is used in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and office network installations. The 10-foot length accommodates typical cabinet-to-equipment distances and mid-range patch panel connections. It is sold individually (each) and is appropriate for both new installations and maintenance replacements in existing Cat 5e cabling infrastructures.

Key Features

• Cat 5e performance supporting data transmission up to 100 MHz
• Copper UTP construction for standard unshielded network environments
• 10-foot length suitable for patch panel and switch connections
• Sold individually for flexible procurement
• Compatible with standard 8P8C (RJ45) jacks and patch panels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for Cat 5e structured cabling systems using standard 8P8C RJ45 terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or electricians familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. No tools are required for plug-in termination at patch panels or network equipment ports. Ensure the cable is not kinked, pinched, or bent beyond its minimum bend radius during routing. Verify that all patch panel and switch ports are powered and configured correctly before testing the connection.
