Panduit UTP28SP2RD-Q Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP2RD-Q is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Patch cords at this specification support Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed data transmission protocols, serving as the flexible link between network equipment and patch panels or wall outlets. Licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers are the primary trade professionals who deploy this type of cord. The Category 6 rating indicates compliance with performance standards for reduced crosstalk and improved signal integrity compared to lower category cables.

This patch cord is suited for use in data centers, telecom rooms, office networks, and similar structured cabling environments where Category 6 performance is required. It serves as a short-run interconnect between switches, routers, patch panels, and end-user devices. The copper conductor construction supports both data and voice applications across standard RJ45 terminated network runs.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Flexible patch cord form factor for equipment room and horizontal cross-connect use
• Sold individually as a single unit for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard interconnect for Category 6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 terminations in compliance with TIA-568 cabling standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or structured cabling professionals. Power down or disconnect active equipment ports before swapping patch cords in live environments to avoid unintended network disruption. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket, and do not bundle patch cords with high-voltage power cables in the same pathway. Follow TIA-568 and local building codes for structured cabling installations.
