Panduit UTP28SP9RD Copper Patch Cord Cat6

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP9RD is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. It provides reliable data transmission at Cat6 performance levels, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth applications. The cord ships as a single unit and is suited for connecting network equipment to patch panels, switches, or wall jacks. Network technicians, low-voltage installers, and IT infrastructure professionals are the primary installers of this type of patch cord.

This patch cord is used in horizontal cabling and equipment room applications where Cat6-rated connections are required. It is well suited for data centers, office networks, and structured cabling builds that must meet TIA-568 Category 6 performance standards. The red jacket color allows for easy identification and color-coded cable management in patch panel environments.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating supporting Gigabit Ethernet and 250 MHz bandwidth
• Red jacket for visual cable identification and color-coded patch management
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal integrity
• Single-unit packaging for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for Category 6 structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals typically install patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 and ANSI standards. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable, as this can degrade signal performance. Ensure patch panels and switch ports are properly terminated before connecting the cord. No special tools are required for patch cord installation beyond a clean, organized cable management approach.
