Panduit UTP28SP18BU-Q Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP18BU-Q is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Category 6 patch cords support data transmission at up to 250 MHz and are built to meet TIA-568 performance standards. This cord provides reliable Ethernet connectivity between patch panels, switches, routers, and end devices. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use these cords for horizontal and vertical cable management runs in telecommunications rooms and data closets.

This patch cord is suited for use in enterprise LAN environments, server rooms, and structured cabling systems where consistent Category 6 performance is required. It is sold individually and is a standard hardware accessory component for network infrastructure projects. Typical applications include patch panel terminations, equipment connections, and desktop drops in commercial office or data center buildouts.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance for high-speed Ethernet applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Blue jacket color for easy cable identification and management
• Sold individually for flexible quantity purchasing
• Compact form factor suitable for high-density patch panel environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with standard Category 6 patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 ports in structured cabling systems conforming to TIA-568 and ISO 11801 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. No tools are required for patching; simply seat the RJ45 connectors fully until the locking tab clicks into place on both ends. Verify cable routing does not exceed the minimum bend radius to maintain Category 6 signal integrity. Follow ANSI/TIA-568 guidelines for structured cabling infrastructure compliance.
