Panduit UTP28SP49YL Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP49YL is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This patch cord delivers reliable Ethernet connectivity at Cat6 performance standards, supporting data transmission applications where consistent signal integrity is required. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network installers work with this type of cord to terminate and connect horizontal cable runs to active equipment, patch panels, and wall jacks. The yellow jacket aids in visual identification and cable management within dense patch environments.

This patch cord is suited for use in telecommunications rooms, data centers, server closets, and end-user workstation connections. It functions as an interconnect or cross-connect cable in Cat6 structured cabling systems, bridging patch panels to switches or patching horizontal runs to active network hardware. The cord is sold individually and is appropriate for new installations, moves, additions, and changes in enterprise or light commercial network infrastructure.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating for Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• 28 AWG copper conductor construction for flexible routing in dense patch environments
• Yellow jacket for quick visual identification and color-coded cable management
• Sold individually, allowing precise quantity purchasing for installation needs
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design suited for standard structured cabling deployments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use in Category 6 structured cabling systems compliant with TIA-568 standards, compatible with standard 8P8C (RJ45) jacks, patch panels, and switches rated for Cat6 or higher performance.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware. Avoid sharp bends beyond the minimum bend radius and do not bundle or tie wrap patch cords so tightly that jacket deformation occurs, as this can degrade signal performance. Follow applicable TIA-568 and local low-voltage codes when deploying structured cabling systems.
