Panduit UTP28SP20PK Copper Patch Cord Cat6

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP20PK is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord supports high-speed data transmission and is built to meet Cat6 performance standards, including reduced crosstalk and improved signal integrity over previous category ratings. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors use this cord to connect equipment at patch panels, switches, and wall outlets. The 28 AWG conductor construction keeps the cord flexible and manageable in dense cable runs and tight equipment spaces.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment room cabling in structured wiring systems. It is commonly installed in data centers, server rooms, office environments, and commercial buildings where Cat6 performance is required. The cord provides a direct, plug-and-play connection between network equipment and patch panels or modular jacks, making it a standard component in any structured cabling deployment.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for high-speed data transmission and reduced crosstalk
• 28 AWG copper conductors for flexible routing in tight spaces
• UTP construction suitable for standard network environments without shielding requirements
• Plug-and-play installation with pre-terminated connectors on both ends
• Sold individually, one cord per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for Category 6 structured cabling systems using 8P8C (RJ45) modular connections.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians install Cat6 patch cords in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. No special tools are required for installation. Avoid sharp bends and do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain signal performance. Ensure patch panel and modular jack ports are clean and free of debris before seating the connectors.
