Panduit UTP28SP38VL Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP38VL is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. It provides reliable data transmission at Cat6 performance levels, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth applications. This patch cord serves as a flexible interconnect between network equipment, patch panels, and wall outlets. It is typically installed by low-voltage technicians, IT infrastructure professionals, and licensed electricians working on structured cabling systems. The cord ships as a single unit and is suited for both new installations and maintenance work on existing network runs.

This patch cord is used wherever a Cat6-rated flexible link is required between active network equipment and the structured cabling plant. Typical applications include data centers, office wiring closets, server rooms, and horizontal distribution areas. It connects switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface equipment in both horizontal and equipment cable runs. The Cat6 rating makes it appropriate for networks running 1000BASE-T and similar protocols over copper.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and 250 MHz bandwidth
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal integrity
• Single-unit packaging allows precise quantity control for installations
• Flexible patch cord form factor for equipment room and outlet connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard interconnect for Category 6 structured cabling systems using copper patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 network ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or electricians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius to maintain Cat6 transmission performance. Do not route patch cords alongside high-voltage power cables without maintaining proper separation per NEC guidelines. Inspect connectors for damage before terminating to ensure full electrical continuity.
