Panduit UTP28SP0.5MGY Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP0.5MGY is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Category 6 patch cords support data transmission at up to 250 MHz and are built to handle Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network protocols. This cord provides a reliable, low-loss connection between patch panels, network switches, and end devices. It is typically installed by low-voltage technicians, data cabling contractors, and IT infrastructure professionals working on voice, data, and video distribution systems.

This patch cord is suited for use in telecommunications rooms, data centers, and horizontal cabling applications where a short, flexible interconnect is needed. The 0.5-meter length makes it well suited for high-density patch panel environments where cable management and bend radius are critical concerns. It is sold and shipped as a single unit.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rated for high-speed data and voice applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal integrity
• Short 0.5-meter length suited for patch panel and switch port connections in dense installations
• Sold individually, allowing quantity-specific procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard interconnect for Category 6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 patch panels, network switches, and compatible Category 6 keystone jacks.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure patch panel ports and switch ports are clean and free of debris before seating connectors. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain Category 6 performance. No tools are required for plug insertion, but a cable management bracket or patch panel lacing bar is recommended in high-density environments.
