Panduit UTP28SP16MRD Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP16MRD is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This patch cord provides reliable signal transmission for data networking, supporting the performance requirements of Cat6 cabling standards. It is used to connect network equipment such as switches, patch panels, and wall outlets. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network installers are the primary tradespeople who specify and terminate these cords during infrastructure builds and equipment moves.

This patch cord is suited for use in horizontal and equipment-room cabling applications where Category 6 performance is required. Typical install scenarios include data center patching, telecommunications rooms, and office network drops. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit network cabling projects where Cat6 connectivity is specified.

Key Features

• Category 6 copper construction meets structured cabling performance requirements
• Designed for patch panel and equipment connections in network installations
• Single-unit packaging suitable for individual port patching or small-quantity work
• Compatible with standard RJ45 ports found in typical Cat6 infrastructure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for Category 6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or qualified network cabling installers. Ensure patch cord bend radius is maintained to avoid signal degradation; do not kink or sharply fold the cable during routing. Power down or disconnect active equipment ports before swapping patch cords in live environments where possible. Follow TIA-568 cabling standards for structured cabling installations.
