Panduit UTP28SP26BL Copper Patch Cord Cat6

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP26BL is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. It provides reliable Ethernet connectivity between patch panels, switches, routers, and wall outlets. Category 6 performance supports data transmission up to 250 MHz, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth applications. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this patch cord as part of a complete structured cabling system. It ships as a single unit and is suited for both new installations and replacement runs where Category 6 performance is required.

This patch cord is used in structured wiring closets, server rooms, office environments, and any application requiring a short Category 6 copper interconnect. It is appropriate for horizontal and equipment-side patching in both residential and light commercial data networks. The UTP28SP26BL is sold individually, allowing technicians to specify exact quantities for a job without overage.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rated for data applications up to 250 MHz bandwidth
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• UTP (unshielded twisted pair) design suitable for standard structured cabling environments
• Single-unit packaging allows precise quantity ordering for installations
• Designed for patching between network equipment in patch panels, switches, and outlets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for use with Category 6 and backward-compatible Category 5e structured cabling systems and equipment.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling contractors and network technicians typically install Category 6 patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards. Power down or disconnect active network equipment before replacing patch cords in live rack environments where possible. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable, and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that the cable jacket deforms, as this can degrade signal performance.
