Panduit UTP28SP6GR-Q Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP6GR-Q is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Cat6 patch cords carry data signals between network switches, patch panels, and end devices, serving as the final connection segment in a horizontal cabling run. This cord meets Category 6 performance standards, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth applications. It is sold as a single unit and is a standard component specified by network installers, IT contractors, and low-voltage cabling technicians on structured wiring projects.

This patch cord is suited for use in telecommunications rooms, server rooms, open-office horizontal cabling systems, and data center patching environments. It connects network hardware to patch panels or wall jacks in installations following TIA-568 cabling standards. The gray jacket color aids in cable identification and organization within dense patching environments. Installers working on Cat6-rated structured cabling systems will find this cord a direct fit for standard patch panel and keystone-jack terminations.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data transmission
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal integrity
• Gray jacket for easy cable identification and color-coded patching
• Single-unit packaging suitable for targeted replacement or small-scale deployment
• Designed to TIA-568 Category 6 performance requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for use with Category 6 compliant patch panels, wall jacks, and network switches in TIA-568-rated structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers typically handle Cat6 patch cord deployment. No tools are required for standard plug-and-play patching, though cable management hardware should be in place before final seating. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the minimum bend radius, as these degrade Cat6 signal performance. Follow TIA-568 guidelines for patch cord length limits within the overall channel length budget.
