Panduit UTP28CH3VL Cat 5e Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28CH3VL is a Cat 5e copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in both commercial and residential network environments. It provides a reliable, low-loss copper connection between patch panels, network switches, and end devices. As a Category 5e cable, it supports data transmission up to 100 MHz and is suited for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet applications. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and network infrastructure installers are the primary trades that work with this type of patch cord during moves, adds, and changes in data rooms and telecom closets.

This patch cord fits standard structured cabling deployments where Cat 5e performance is the specified minimum. It is used in horizontal distribution areas, equipment rooms, and work area connections. The cord terminates in standard RJ45 connectors and plugs directly into patch panels, wall jacks, and network switch ports. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both new installations and as a replacement in existing Cat 5e cabling plants.

Key Features

• Cat 5e performance rated for data transmission up to 100 MHz
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal integrity
• RJ45 terminations compatible with standard patch panels and network equipment
• Single-unit packaging for targeted replacement or incremental additions
• Designed for structured cabling environments following TIA-568 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use in Cat 5e structured cabling systems with standard RJ45 patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switching equipment.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network cabling installers typically handle patch cord deployment. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management practices. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are free of debris before seating connectors. Follow TIA-568 guidelines for bend radius and cable management to maintain signal performance.
