Panduit UTP28SP3GY-Q Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP3GY-Q is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Category 6 patch cords support data transmission at up to 250 MHz bandwidth, making them suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network applications. This cord is used to connect network equipment to patch panels, switches, and wall jacks. It is installed by low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure professionals working in data centers, server rooms, and telecommunications closets.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment-room cabling segments where a flexible, terminated copper link is required. The gray jacket color aids in color-coded cable management schemes. The part number suffix -Q indicates this cord is sold as a single unit, making it appropriate for targeted replacements or small-scale patch panel builds alongside bulk orders.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for up to 250 MHz bandwidth, supporting Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Gray jacket for color-coded cable management in structured cabling environments
• Sold as a single unit, suitable for individual replacements or incremental builds
• Flexible patch cord form factor for equipment-room and horizontal cabling connections

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians typically install patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by ANSI/TIA-568 standards. Power down or disconnect active network equipment before replacing patch cords in live panels to avoid unintended network disruption. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cord below the minimum bend radius, and do not route alongside high-voltage wiring without proper separation.
