Panduit UTP28SP13-Q Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP13-Q is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial network environments. Category 6 patch cords support data transmission up to 250 MHz and are used to connect network equipment to patch panels, switches, and wall jacks. This cord is sold as a single unit and is installed by low-voltage technicians, IT infrastructure professionals, and licensed electricians working on data cabling systems. It is suited for applications requiring reliable, standards-compliant copper network connections.

Category 6 patch cords like the UTP28SP13-Q are commonly deployed in horizontal cabling runs, equipment rooms, and telecommunications closets. Typical installations include connecting end-user workstations to wall outlets, patch panels to network switches, and server ports to structured cabling infrastructure. This cord fits residential, commercial, and light industrial network builds where Cat6 performance is specified.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for data transmission up to 250 MHz bandwidth
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal integrity
• Sold individually as a single unit for flexible procurement
• Suitable for structured cabling and network patching applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for use in Category 6 structured cabling systems with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or licensed electricians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active network equipment before replacing patch cords in live panels when possible. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable run, as exceeding the minimum bend radius can degrade signal performance. No special tools are required beyond standard patch cord installation practices.
