Panduit UTP28SP50BU Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP50BU is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Category 6 patch cords support data transmission at up to 250 MHz and are built to meet TIA-568 performance standards. This cord serves as a flexible interconnect between patch panels, switches, routers, and network equipment. It is typically installed by low-voltage technicians, network cabling contractors, and IT infrastructure teams during new installations or equipment moves, adds, and changes.

The UTP28SP50BU is suited for horizontal and equipment-room patching in commercial office buildings, data centers, and institutional facilities. It connects structured cabling patch panels to active network equipment or links workstation outlets to end devices. The blue jacket color aids in visual cable management and port identification within high-density patch environments.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rated for high-speed data transmission up to 250 MHz
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction for standard copper network applications
• Blue jacket for easy visual identification and cable management
• Flexible patch cord design for equipment-room and horizontal interconnect use
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard interconnect for Category 6 structured cabling systems using RJ-45 terminated copper patch panels and network equipment ports.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers typically handle patch cord deployment as part of structured cabling work governed by TIA-568 standards. No tools are required for patch cord connection to RJ-45 ports. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are de-energized or in a safe state before handling adjacent live equipment in high-density racks.
