Panduit UTP28SP18MBU Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP18MBU is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. It provides reliable data transmission at Category 6 performance levels, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network protocols. The cord is sold individually and is intended for use by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians, IT infrastructure installers, and qualified electricians working on data network systems. Its construction meets the performance demands of active Cat6 patch panel and switch port connections.

This patch cord is suited for use in telecommunications rooms, server rooms, and horizontal cabling applications where a Cat6-rated copper interconnect is required. It is commonly installed between patch panels and network switches, or between wall outlets and end-user devices. The cord is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit cabling projects that require Category 6 performance compliance.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated copper construction for Gigabit Ethernet performance
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design suitable for standard structured cabling environments
• Single-unit packaging for precise quantity management on the job site
• Designed for patch panel to switch and outlet to device interconnect applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for Category 6 structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switch ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cord that could degrade signal performance. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius specified for Category 6 cables. Verify patch panel and switch port compatibility before terminating or routing cables in the raceway.
