Panduit UTP28SP16MVL Cat 6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP16MVL is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. It provides reliable, high-speed data transmission at Category 6 performance levels, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and other bandwidth-intensive applications. This patch cord connects network equipment such as switches, patch panels, and end devices within a cabling system. It is installed by low-voltage technicians, network cabling contractors, and IT infrastructure professionals working to TIA-568 or ISO 11801 standards.

The UTP28SP16MVL is suited for use in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications rooms, and general office network deployments. It functions as a horizontal or equipment-side connection in Category 6 structured cabling systems. The cord bridges patch panels to active network equipment or connects workstations and IP devices to wall ports. It is a standard building block in both new construction and retrofit network cabling projects.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating supporting Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Designed for use in structured cabling systems meeting TIA-568 Category 6 requirements
• Suitable for patch panel to switch connections and equipment-side cabling
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for use in Category 6 structured cabling systems utilizing RJ45 connectivity.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers typically handle patch cord installation. No tools are required for patch cord termination, as RJ45 connectors plug directly into compatible jacks and ports. Verify that the cabling system is Category 6 rated end-to-end to maintain full performance compliance. Follow TIA-568 guidelines for bend radius and strain relief when routing patch cords in cable management systems.
