Panduit UTP28SP17BU-Q Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP17BU-Q is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. It provides reliable data transmission at Category 6 performance levels, supporting high-speed Ethernet applications where signal integrity and low crosstalk are required. The cord is sold individually and is suited for patch panel to switch connections, workstation drops, and equipment rack wiring. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network infrastructure installers are the primary trade professionals who deploy this type of patch cord in both new construction and retrofit cabling projects.

This patch cord is intended for horizontal and equipment-area cabling in commercial office buildings, data centers, and similar structured cabling environments. It connects network switches, patch panels, routers, and end-user devices where Category 6 performance is specified. The blue jacket color aids in cable identification and organization within crowded patch fields or equipment racks. It is appropriate for use in installations following TIA-568 structured cabling standards.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for high-speed Ethernet data transmission
• Copper conductor construction for reliable electrical performance
• Blue jacket for easy visual identification in patch fields
• Sold individually, allowing quantity procurement as needed
• Suitable for structured cabling installations per TIA-568 guidelines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Category 6 structured cabling systems, compatible with standard RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians typically install patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards. No special tools are required for patch cord termination at RJ45 ports. Avoid sharp bends or exceeding the minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Do not bundle patch cords tightly with power cables, as electromagnetic interference can affect data integrity.
