Panduit UTP28CH4RD Copper Patch Cord Cat 5e

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28CH4RD is a Cat 5e copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This patch cord provides a reliable, terminated copper connection between network equipment, patch panels, and wall outlets. Cat 5e performance supports data transmission up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet and frequencies up to 100 MHz, making it a standard choice for voice, data, and video patch applications. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals install this cord as part of structured wiring systems governed by TIA-568 standards.

This patch cord is suited for use in telecommunications rooms, data closets, and horizontal cabling distribution points. It connects switches, routers, patch panels, and end-user ports in both new construction and retrofit cabling projects. The cord is sold individually (each) and is appropriate for any installation requiring a short, flexible jumper between active network equipment and a patching field.

Key Features

• Cat 5e performance supporting Gigabit Ethernet and 100 MHz bandwidth
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Flexible patch cord form factor for equipment rack and patch panel use
• Sold individually for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for Cat 5e structured cabling systems using RJ45 terminations in commercial and residential network installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. Power down or disconnect active network equipment before replacing patch cords in live patch fields when possible to avoid network disruption. Follow TIA-568 guidelines for proper patch cord management, bend radius, and strain relief. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during installation or routing.
