Panduit UTP28CH1MOR Cat 5e Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28CH1MOR is a Cat 5e copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This unshielded twisted-pair patch cord provides reliable Ethernet connectivity between patch panels, switches, routers, and end devices. Built to Cat 5e performance standards, it supports data transmission applications where consistent signal quality and low crosstalk are required. Network technicians and low-voltage installers rely on this type of cord for day-to-day moves, adds, and changes in equipment rooms and communications closets.

The UTP28CH1MOR is suited for horizontal cabling distribution points and equipment connections in both light commercial and enterprise settings. It is commonly deployed in server rooms, wiring closets, and office environments where Cat 5e infrastructure is already in place. The orange jacket color aids in cable identification and management within dense patch fields.

Key Features

• Cat 5e performance rating supports standard Ethernet data transmission

• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use patch cord compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5e-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are powered down or that hot-swap procedures are followed per site policy before disconnecting active links. Route cords through cable managers to maintain bend radius and avoid sharp kinks that can degrade performance. Follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards for patch cord length and channel requirements.
