Panduit UTP28SP48OR Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP48OR is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in data networking environments. This patch cord delivers reliable high-speed data transmission at Cat6 performance levels, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and other bandwidth-intensive applications. It is typically installed by low-voltage technicians, network cabling contractors, and IT infrastructure professionals working in commercial, industrial, or enterprise settings. The cord connects patch panels to network switches or end devices within a rack or telecommunications room, providing a terminated, ready-to-install cable run.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and backbone structured cabling systems in commercial office buildings, data centers, education facilities, and light industrial environments. It fits into standard 19-inch rack-mounted patch panel deployments and is used wherever a Cat6-rated copper interconnect is required between active network equipment and the passive cabling infrastructure. The orange jacket aids in visual identification and cable management within high-density installations.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data applications
• Copper conductor construction provides reliable electrical continuity and low signal loss
• Orange jacket color supports color-coded cable management in structured cabling systems
• Factory-terminated, ready-to-install design eliminates field termination labor
• Sold individually as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard interconnect for Category 6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 patch panels and keystone jack assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians following ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management accessories. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the minimum bend radius of Cat6 cable, as these can degrade signal performance. Ensure all connected equipment is powered down or ports are inactive before inserting or removing patch cords in live network environments.
