Panduit UTP28SP41OR Copper Patch Cord Cat6

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP41OR is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. It provides a reliable, low-loss connection between network equipment and patch panels or wall outlets. Category 6 performance supports data transmission speeds up to 1 Gbbs and beyond, making it suitable for demanding Ethernet network runs. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling installers are the primary trades that specify and install this patch cord.

This patch cord is used in horizontal and equipment cabling applications where Category 6 performance is required. Typical install scenarios include connecting switches, routers, and servers to patch panels in telecommunications rooms, as well as workstation drops in office and data center environments. The orange jacket color aids in cable identification and management within high-density patch fields.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating for high-speed Ethernet data transmission
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal integrity
• Orange jacket color for easy visual identification in patch panels
• Factory-terminated ends for consistent, tested connectivity
• Suitable for structured cabling systems in commercial and residential applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for use with Category 6 compliant patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable, as exceeding the minimum bend radius can degrade Category 6 performance. Do not route patch cords alongside high-voltage power cables to minimize electromagnetic interference. Verify that all connected ports and patch panels are rated for Category 6 to maintain end-to-end channel performance.
