Panduit UTP28SP8INGY-48 Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP8INGY-48 is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Patch cords of this type terminate network runs at patch panels, switches, and wall jacks, providing the final link in a horizontal cabling system. Category 6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data transmission. Licensed low-voltage technicians, network installers, and IT infrastructure teams are the primary installers of this type of component.

This patch cord is suited for data center patching, telecommunications rooms, and desktop connectivity applications. It is used wherever a flexible, field-terminated or factory-terminated copper link is required between active equipment and a structured cabling system. The gray jacket color aids in visual cable management and identification in high-density patch environments.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and bandwidth-intensive applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Factory-terminated patch cord for consistent, tested connectivity
• Gray jacket for visual identification and cable management in dense installations
• Sold as individual unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord compatible with Category 6 and backward-compatible Category 5e structured cabling systems using standard 8-position 8-conductor modular jack interfaces.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network infrastructure installers typically handle patch cord deployment. No special tools are required for installation, but cable management hardware should be in place before patching to avoid strain on connectors. Verify the patch panel and switch port are not energized with PoE voltage before handling connectors in sensitive environments. Follow TIA-568 or applicable local structured cabling standards for proper routing and bend radius.
