Panduit UTP28SP1MYL Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP1MYL is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. It provides reliable gigabit-speed connectivity between network equipment, patch panels, and wall outlets. Category 6 performance supports bandwidths up to 250 MHz, making it suitable for high-density data center racks, telecom closets, and horizontal cabling runs. Electrical and low-voltage contractors, as well as network technicians, typically handle installation. The cord ships as a single unit and is built to meet the performance demands of modern Ethernet infrastructure.

This patch cord is used in data networking applications where Category 6 performance is specified. Typical install scenarios include connecting switches to patch panels, linking workstations to outlet ports, and completing cross-connect runs in telecom rooms. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit cabling projects in commercial office, industrial, and institutional settings where structured cabling standards are required.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated copper construction supports bandwidths up to 250 MHz
• UTP (unshielded twisted pair) design suits standard structured cabling environments
• Single-unit packaging for targeted replacement or small-quantity installs
• Compatible with standard RJ45 ports on patch panels, switches, and wall plates
• Yellow jacket aids visual identification and cable management in high-density installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental patch cord for Category 6 structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 connectivity.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or data cabling technicians in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or log off active network sessions on connected equipment before swapping patch cords in live racks when disruption is a concern. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the cable's minimum bend radius, as this can degrade Category 6 signal performance. Route and dress cords using appropriate cable management hardware to maintain airflow and accessibility in rack environments.
