Panduit UTP28CH4BL Cat 5e Copper Patch Cord 4 Foot

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28CH4BL is a Cat 5e copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This unshielded twisted pair patch cable delivers reliable Ethernet connectivity at Category 5e performance standards, supporting data transmission applications up to 100 MHz. At 4 feet in length and finished in blue, it is a standard-format cord used by low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals to connect patch panels, switches, routers, and end devices within a rack or equipment bay.

This patch cord is suited for use in structured cabling systems, data centers, server rooms, telecom closets, and office network installations. It is appropriate wherever a short, organized Cat 5e connection is needed between patch panel ports and active networking equipment. The blue jacket color supports common color-coded cable management practices used in professional installations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals typically install patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards. No special tools are required for insertion; ensure RJ45 connectors seat fully into ports before securing cable routing. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could degrade signal performance, and maintain minimum bend radius per TIA guidelines.
