Panduit UTP28SP8MOR Cat6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP8MOR is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. This unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord supports high-speed data transmission up to 250 MHz bandwidth, meeting Category 6 performance standards. It is used to connect network equipment to patch panels, switches, and wall outlets. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers are the primary trade installing this component in both new construction and retrofit cabling projects.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment-room cabling segments in commercial buildings, data centers, and office environments. It terminates with standard 8-position 8-contact (8P8C) modular plugs on each end, making it compatible with standard Category 6 patch panels and structured cabling infrastructure. The cord is typically used in rack-and-stack configurations where equipment needs to be patched to distribution frames or active networking hardware.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance for high-speed data and voice network applications
• Copper UTP construction supports standard 8P8C modular connectivity
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing
• Orange jacket color aids in visual cable management and identification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Category 6 structured cabling systems and standard 8P8C patch panels and keystone jacks.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or data cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. Do not overtighten cable ties or Velcro wraps, as excessive compression can degrade Category 6 performance. Ensure all termination points are seated fully before routing and dressing the cord.
