Panduit UTP28SP6RD Copper Patch Cord Cat6

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP6RD is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. This patch cord provides the electrical performance required to support Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed data transmission protocols rated for Cat6 infrastructure. The cord is sold as a single unit and is intended for use by licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals who require a reliable, standards-compliant connection between patch panels, switches, and end devices.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment room cabling in commercial office buildings, data centers, and institutional facilities. It terminates network runs at patch panels or connects active equipment directly to wall jacks and switches. The red jacket color aids in cable identification and color-coded cable management schemes commonly used in structured cabling plants.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10/100/1000Base-T applications
• Copper conductor construction for standard UTP patch cord connectivity
• Red jacket color supports color-coded cable management
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity ordering
• UTP (unshielded twisted pair) design suitable for standard office and data center environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use patch cord for Category 6 structured cabling systems terminating with standard RJ45 connectors in commercial and residential network installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, as excessive bending can degrade signal performance. Avoid running patch cords parallel to high-voltage power cables to minimize electromagnetic interference. Ensure all connected ports and patch panels are rated for Category 6 performance to maintain system integrity.
