Panduit UTP28SP3.5MPK Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP3.5MPK is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. It provides reliable, high-speed data transmission across horizontal and backbone cabling runs. Cat6 patch cords like this one support gigabit Ethernet and beyond, making them a standard choice for patch panel terminations, switch connections, and workstation drops. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling installers typically handle deployment. The unshielded twisted-pair construction keeps the cord flexible and easy to route through tight cable management hardware.

This patch cord is suited for use in telecommunications rooms, data centers, and structured cabling systems where Cat6 performance is required. It connects network equipment at patch panels, switches, routers, and wall outlets. The cord is packaged individually and sold as a single unit, making it practical for targeted replacements or small-scale deployments alongside bulk cabling projects.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal integrity
• Unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) design for flexible routing and easy termination
• Individual unit packaging suitable for single-cord replacement or incremental installations
• Compact and manageable form factor for use in structured cabling environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord for Category 6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 patch panels, switches, and wall outlets.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or network cabling technician following ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure all connected equipment is powered down or in a safe state before disconnecting active links in sensitive network environments. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius to maintain Cat6 signal performance. Dress and secure cords using appropriate cable management hardware to prevent strain on connectors.
