Panduit UTP28SP85RD Copper Patch Cord Cat6

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP85RD is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. It provides reliable high-speed data transmission between network switches, patch panels, and end devices. Category 6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and higher bandwidth applications, meeting TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 standards for low crosstalk and return loss. This patch cord is suited for installation by low-voltage network technicians, IT infrastructure teams, and licensed electricians working on data cabling systems.

This patch cord is used in horizontal cabling applications, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and workstation connections. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit installations where Category 6 performance is required. The red jacket color supports color-coded cable management practices commonly used in enterprise and campus network deployments.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance for Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Red jacket enables color-coded cable management and quick identification
• Pre-terminated patch cord design reduces installation time
• Sold as a single unit for flexible procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for Category 6 structured cabling systems using standard RJ-45 patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switch ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. Ensure patch panels and switch ports are de-energized or powered down before terminating connections where required by site procedures. Follow TIA-568 bend radius guidelines to avoid signal degradation. Do not exceed the cable's rated pulling tension during routing.
