Panduit UTP28CH6YL Copper Patch Cord Cat 5e

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28CH6YL is a Category 5e copper patch cord designed for structured cabling applications in commercial and residential network installations. This unshielded twisted pair patch cord provides reliable data transmission at Cat 5e performance standards, supporting Ethernet network connections between patch panels, switches, and end devices. It is sold as an individual unit and is handled by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure installers working to current TIA/EIA structured cabling standards.

This patch cord is suited for use in horizontal and equipment room cabling systems where Cat 5e performance is required. Typical applications include connecting network switches to patch panels, linking workstation outlets to active equipment, and providing flexible jumper connections in data closets and server rooms. The yellow jacket color aids in visual identification and cable management within high-density patching environments.

Key Features

• Category 5e performance for 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet applications
• Copper unshielded twisted pair construction
• Yellow jacket for easy visual identification in patch panels and cable trays
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment patch cord for Cat 5e structured cabling systems using standard 8P8C modular connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA/EIA-568 structured cabling standards. No tools are required for standard patch cord termination to modular jacks or patch panels. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable, as exceeding the minimum bend radius can degrade Cat 5e signal performance. Inspect connector boots and locking tabs before installation to ensure secure seating.
