Panduit UTP28SP10GY-Q Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP10GY-Q 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 frequencies up to 250 MHz and are built to meet the performance demands of Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network protocols. This cord is sold as a single unit and is intended for use by low-voltage technicians, IT infrastructure professionals, and licensed electricians performing data cabling work. The gray jacket color aids in cable identification and organization within patch panels and equipment racks.

This patch cord is suited for use in horizontal cabling runs, patch panels, network switches, and structured wiring closets. It is appropriate for both commercial office environments and residential low-voltage data installations where Category 6 performance is specified. Network technicians and low-voltage contractors will find it applicable to standard EIA/TIA-568 wiring architectures. It connects end devices, switches, or patch panels in any installation where a Cat6-rated copper interconnect is required.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated copper construction supporting up to 250 MHz bandwidth
• Gray jacket for easy identification and color-coded cable management
• Sold as a single unit for precise quantity ordering
• Suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed LAN applications
• Designed for use in structured cabling systems per EIA/TIA-568 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord compatible with Category 6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 terminations in accordance with EIA/TIA-568 wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician familiar with EIA/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active network equipment before patching into live switch ports where disruption is a concern. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as exceeding the minimum bend radius can degrade Category 6 performance. Verify patch cord length is appropriate for the intended run before finalizing the connection.
