Panduit UTP28SP4OR Copper Patch Cord Cat6

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP4OR is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Patch cords of this type terminate network equipment to patch panels or wall ports, carrying data signals across horizontal cabling segments. Cat6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth applications up to 250 MHz. This cord is handled and installed by low-voltage cabling technicians, IT infrastructure crews, and licensed electricians performing data cabling work under TIA-568 standards.

This patch cord is suited for use in data centers, server rooms, office network closets, and structured cabling deployments where Cat6-rated performance is required. It is used to connect switches, routers, patch panels, and end-user equipment. The orange jacket color aids with visual cable management and circuit identification in high-density installations, making it easy to trace and organize runs in active racks and panels.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating supporting Gigabit Ethernet and up to 250 MHz bandwidth
• Orange jacket color supports visual identification and cable management in rack environments
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Sold as individual unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord compatible with Category 6 structured cabling systems and TIA-568-compliant patch panels and keystone jacks.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and electricians performing data cabling work typically install Cat6 patch cords. Ensure all connected equipment is powered down or ports are inactive before replacing patch cords in live environments to avoid data interruption. Follow TIA-568 guidelines for bend radius and cable management to maintain Cat6 performance. Do not over-cinch cable ties, as excessive compression on the jacket can degrade signal integrity.
