Panduit UTP28SP1YL-Q Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP1YL-Q is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling applications in commercial and enterprise network environments. It provides reliable high-speed data transmission at Cat6 performance standards, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and other bandwidth-intensive protocols. This patch cord is used to connect network equipment to patch panels, switches, and wall outlets. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers are the primary trades that specify and deploy this type of component. The yellow jacket color aids in cable identification and tracing within high-density installations.

This patch cord is suited for use in horizontal and equipment room cabling segments within structured cabling systems that conform to TIA-568 Cat6 performance requirements. It is applicable in commercial office buildouts, data centers, and light industrial network infrastructure projects where Cat6 rated performance is specified. Single-unit packaging makes it practical for targeted replacement runs or small-scale additions to existing cabling plants.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating supporting Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal integrity
• Yellow jacket for easy visual identification in dense patch environments
• Single-unit packaging for targeted deployment or replacement

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians typically install Cat6 patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards. No special tools are required for patching, but care should be taken not to exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing. Avoid sharp bends, tight cable ties, and excessive tension that can degrade Cat6 performance. Inspect RJ45 connectors on both ends for damage before insertion.
