Panduit UTP28SP16YL Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP16YL is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. It provides reliable high-speed data transmission at Cat6 performance levels, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and other bandwidth-intensive applications. The cord connects network equipment to patch panels, wall jacks, or switches and is terminated with standard 8P8C modular plugs on each end. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling installers are the primary trades working with this product during initial builds and moves-adds-changes.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment-room cabling in office buildings, data centers, and light industrial environments. It is used to link end devices such as workstations, IP phones, and access points to the structured cabling plant. The yellow jacket color aids in visual identification and cable management within high-density patch fields and equipment racks.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and 550 MHz bandwidth applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Yellow jacket aids visual identification in dense patch environments
• Sold individually as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Category 6 patch panels, keystone jacks, and 8P8C modular ports in standard structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable below the minimum bend radius, as this degrades Cat6 signal integrity. Do not cinch cable ties so tightly that the jacket deforms. Verify end-to-end continuity and performance with a qualified cable tester after installation.
