Panduit UTP28CH4MGR Copper Patch Cord Cat 5e

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28CH4MGR is a Category 5e copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This patch cord provides reliable, high-speed data transmission across horizontal and vertical cable runs. Cat 5e performance supports network speeds up to 1000 Mbps and frequencies up to 100 MHz, making it a standard choice for Ethernet infrastructure. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling contractors install this type of patch cord during initial builds, moves, adds, and changes in telecommunications rooms and data closets.

This patch cord is suited for use in structured cabling systems that conform to TIA-568 standards. Typical applications include connecting patch panels to network switches, workstation outlets to active equipment, and cross-connect points within a distribution frame. The cord is sold as an individual unit and fits within standard Cat 5e cabling architectures found in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and light industrial settings.

Key Features

• Category 5e performance for Ethernet and data network cabling applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Sold as a single unit for precise inventory control
• Compact patch cord format suited for high-density patch panel environments
• Compatible with standard 8P8C modular jack terminations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for Cat 5e structured cabling systems using RJ45 patch panels and modular keystone jack infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians install Cat 5e patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 and local codes. No tools are required for patch cord termination at modular jacks. Avoid sharp bends beyond the minimum bend radius and do not overtighten cable management hardware, as excessive stress can degrade signal performance. Verify network equipment is powered down or ports are inactive before performing patching changes in live environments where disruption is a concern.
