Panduit UTP28SP16OR Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP16OR is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in data centers, server rooms, and commercial network environments. It provides a reliable copper connection between patch panels, switches, and networked equipment. Category 6 performance supports data transmission at up to 250 MHz, meeting the demands of modern Ethernet applications. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network infrastructure installers typically handle installation of this type of cord in permanent or temporary patch configurations.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment-room cabling in both commercial and light industrial settings. It is used to connect active networking hardware to patch panels or outlet ports, completing end-to-end structured cabling channel runs. The cord is sold as a single unit and fits standard installations requiring Category 6 rated copper connectivity.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for data transmission up to 250 MHz
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal integrity
• Single-unit packaging suitable for targeted replacement or new installation
• Designed for use in structured cabling patch and equipment room applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Category 6 structured cabling systems utilizing standard RJ45 patch panel ports and network equipment interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. No tools are required for connecting the patch cord to RJ45 ports, though cable management hardware is recommended for organized routing. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius for Category 6 cable, as this can degrade signal performance. Ensure all connected equipment is identified and network impact is assessed before disconnecting existing patch cords during a replacement.
