Panduit UTP28SP38BU Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP38BU is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Category 6 patch cords support data transmission at frequencies up to 250 MHz, making them suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network applications. This cord ships as a single unit and is used to connect network equipment to patch panels, switches, or wall jacks. Network cabling technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary trades working with this type of component.

This patch cord is appropriate for use in horizontal cabling systems, equipment rooms, and telecommunications closets where Category 6 performance is required. It is suited for both new installations and upgrades to existing structured cabling infrastructure in office buildings, data centers, and similar facilities. The cord provides a flexible, pre-terminated connection point between active network equipment and the permanent cabling plant.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for high-speed Ethernet and data networking applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Pre-terminated design eliminates field termination time
• Single-unit packaging allows precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Category 6 structured cabling systems and components including Category 6 patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches with standard RJ-45 ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure professionals. Power down or place active ports in a safe state before connecting or disconnecting patch cords in live switching environments where service disruption is a concern. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance in Category 6 cabling. Installations in commercial buildings should comply with applicable TIA-568 standards and local codes governing low-voltage cabling.
