Panduit UTP28CH6BU Copper Patch Cord Cat 5e

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28CH6BU is a Cat 5e copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This patch cord provides reliable copper-based connectivity for horizontal and equipment-side patching applications. Built to Cat 5e performance standards, it supports data transmission at frequencies up to 100 MHz and is suited for 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet connections. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers. The cord is sold individually and is appropriate for use in telecommunications rooms, server closets, and workstation connections.

This patch cord is used in structured cabling systems where Cat 5e performance is required. Typical applications include patch panel to switch connections, wall outlet to device connections, and general horizontal patching in commercial data networks and light industrial environments. It is appropriate for any installation where TIA-568 Category 5e cabling performance is specified.

Key Features

• Cat 5e performance supporting 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Designed for equipment-side and cross-connect patching applications
• Sold as individual unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for use in Cat 5e structured cabling systems terminating with standard 8P8C modular connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling technician or network installer. Ensure all patch panel and switch ports are powered down or that proper ESD precautions are observed before handling active network equipment. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket to preserve signal integrity. Follow TIA-568 standards for cabling practices and documentation.
