Panduit UTP28SP5.5MRD Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP5.5MRD is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. It provides reliable data transmission at Cat6 performance standards, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network protocols. This patch cord is sold as a single unit and is a standard component in patch panel and switch port terminations. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling professionals install this cord to connect active equipment to patch panels or to link ports within a telecom room or equipment rack.

This patch cord is suited for use in horizontal cable management, equipment rooms, and telecommunications closets. It is appropriate for both new construction cabling projects and retrofit installations where Cat6 performance is required. The cord provides a flexible, pre-terminated solution that eliminates field termination of individual cable runs between active network devices and patch panels.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating supporting Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal integrity
• Pre-terminated patch cord eliminates field termination labor
• Sold as a single unit for precise quantity ordering
• Flexible design suited for rack and panel environments

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or qualified network professionals. Power down or disconnect active equipment at the port before seating or removing patch cords to avoid data interruption. Installations in commercial buildings should conform to ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends or tight cable ties that could deform the cable geometry and degrade Cat6 performance.
