Panduit UTP28SP20BU-Q Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP20BU-Q is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in network and data environments. It provides reliable Ethernet connectivity between patch panels, switches, routers, and end devices. Category 6 performance supports data transmission up to 250 MHz, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and similar high-speed applications. This patch cord is typically installed by low-voltage cabling technicians, IT infrastructure specialists, and licensed electricians working in commercial, industrial, or institutional settings.

The UTP28SP20BU-Q is suited for horizontal and vertical cable runs within structured cabling systems, particularly in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications rooms, and office environments. It connects active network equipment to patch panels or wall jacks and is used wherever Category 6 performance is required at the patch cord level. The blue jacket color aids in visual cable management and identification within high-density installations.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating supporting up to 250 MHz bandwidth
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Blue jacket for easy visual identification in structured cabling environments
• Sold individually (each) for flexible quantity procurement
• Designed for Gigabit Ethernet and standard 8P8C RJ45 terminations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for Category 6 structured cabling systems using 8P8C RJ45 interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or licensed electricians in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active network equipment before patching into live switch ports when possible to avoid unintended network events. Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable, as this can degrade Category 6 performance. Route and dress cables using appropriate cable management hardware to maintain signal integrity.
