Panduit UTP28SP1MBU-Q Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP1MBU-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 performance requirements for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network applications. This cord provides the flexible interconnect link between patch panels, network switches, and end-device ports. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers are the typical trades handling this component during initial infrastructure builds and ongoing maintenance moves, adds, and changes.

This patch cord is suited for use in horizontal cabling systems, equipment rooms, telecommunications rooms, and work area connections. It functions as a structured cabling component in both new construction and retrofit data network installations. The Category 6 rating makes it appropriate for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T Ethernet applications running over copper UTP infrastructure. Each unit is sold individually, making it straightforward to order exact quantities for a project.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating for Gigabit Ethernet support
• Copper UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction
• Flexible patch cord form factor for equipment room and work area use
• Sold as individual units for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-issue patch cord for Category 6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 terminated copper UTP infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure personnel. No power tools are required; however, verify that connected equipment ports are not carrying active traffic before reseating patch cords in live environments to avoid unintended network disruption. Follow TIA-568 standards for Category 6 channel length and bend-radius requirements when routing patch cords in cable management systems. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius or cinch cable ties tightly around patch cords, as doing so can degrade signal performance.
