Panduit UTP28CH2MVL Copper Patch Cord Cat 5e

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28CH2MVL is a Cat 5e copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This patch cord provides reliable signal transmission for Ethernet connections, supporting standard 10/100/1000BASE-T applications. It is intended for use by low-voltage technicians, network installers, and data cabling contractors working in telecommunications rooms, server closets, and horizontal cabling pathways. The Cat 5e rating meets TIA/EIA-568 performance requirements for high-speed data transmission across copper UTP cabling infrastructure.

This patch cord is suited for patching workstations, switches, patch panels, and network equipment in office, industrial, and data center environments. It serves as a flexible interconnect solution between active network equipment and structured cabling systems. Low-voltage installers typically deploy this cord at the patch panel or equipment rack level to complete network circuits quickly and cleanly.

Key Features

• Cat 5e performance rating for 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet applications
• Copper UTP construction for standard structured cabling environments
• Designed for use in telecommunications rooms, equipment racks, and wall outlets
• Compact form factor suitable for high-density patching environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord compatible with Cat 5e and higher-rated structured cabling systems and patch panels.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or qualified network cabling contractors. Verify that patch panel ports and jack terminations meet or exceed Cat 5e performance specifications before deployment. Follow TIA-568 standards for cable management and bend radius to maintain signal integrity. Power down connected network equipment before swapping active patch cords where possible to avoid unintended network disruption.
