Panduit UTP28SP8.5MGR Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP8.5MGR is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in network infrastructure environments. This patch cord provides reliable high-speed data transmission at Category 6 performance standards, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and other demanding network applications. The 28 AWG construction keeps cable bulk manageable in high-density patch panel and switch environments. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling contractors install this type of cord as part of horizontal or backbone cabling terminations in commercial and residential data rooms.

This patch cord is suited for use in telecommunications rooms, server closets, and data centers where Category 6 performance is specified. It connects equipment at patch panels, network switches, routers, and wall outlets. The UTP28SP8.5MGR is sold individually, making it practical for targeted replacements or small-quantity installs alongside larger cabling projects.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating supporting Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed LAN applications
• 28 AWG copper conductor construction for reduced diameter and improved bend radius in dense installations
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design for standard commercial and residential structured cabling
• Sold individually (each) for flexible ordering quantities

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for Category 6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 patch panel ports, network switches, and modular outlets.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians install Category 6 patch cords as part of structured cabling systems in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 standards. No special tools are required for insertion, but ensure RJ45 ports are free of debris and undamaged before seating the connector. Avoid sharp bends beyond the minimum bend radius to preserve Category 6 signal integrity. Power down connected equipment or follow site protocols before disturbing active patch connections in live network environments.
