Panduit UTP28SP16BL Copper Patch Cord Cat6

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP16BL is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This UTP (unshielded twisted pair) patch cord provides reliable high-speed data transmission at Category 6 performance standards, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and other demanding network applications. It is used by network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors to connect patch panels to switches, routers, or end devices within a telecommunications room or work area. The cord ships as a single unit and is ready for immediate deployment in new installations or maintenance work.

The UTP28SP16BL is suited for use in structured cabling systems that follow TIA-568 Category 6 standards. It is appropriate for data centers, office buildings, schools, and other facilities where reliable copper network connectivity is required. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals typically deploy this cord as part of a patch panel-to-switch link or a horizontal cross-connect segment.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and up to 250 MHz bandwidth
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction for straightforward termination in standard Cat6 environments
• Copper conductor for dependable signal integrity across the full Cat6 frequency range
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for Category 6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 patch panels, switches, and network outlets.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or network cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure the patch cord is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius and is routed through appropriate cable management hardware. Avoid running data patch cords parallel to high-voltage power cables to minimize interference. Inspect RJ45 connectors for full seating before commissioning the link.
