Panduit UTP28CH1MBL Cat 5e Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28CH1MBL is a Cat 5e copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. It provides a reliable copper pathway for Ethernet data transmission at Category 5e performance standards. Licensed low-voltage technicians and data cabling installers use this cord to terminate horizontal cable runs at patch panels, connect switches to patch panels, or link workstation drops to active equipment. The cord ships as a single unit and is suited for high-density patch panel environments where consistent, organized cable management is required.

This patch cord is used in horizontal and backbone cabling applications within telecommunications rooms, equipment rooms, and work area outlets. It fits standard 8P8C modular jack interfaces and is appropriate for enterprise, commercial, and light industrial structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 standards. Installation is typically performed by low-voltage or data cabling professionals as part of a complete structured cabling system.

Key Features

• Cat 5e performance supporting 100 MHz bandwidth for standard Ethernet applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Single-unit packaging suitable for precise quantity purchasing
• Designed for use in structured cabling environments following TIA-568 guidelines
• Compatible with standard 8P8C modular patch panel and wall plate jacks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for Cat 5e structured cabling systems using 8P8C modular jack interfaces in commercial or residential low-voltage installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or data cabling technician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize or power down active switching equipment at the port before connecting or disconnecting patch cords where possible. Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension that could degrade signal integrity. Route and dress cords through appropriate cable management hardware to maintain bend radius requirements.
