Panduit UTPCH1MYLY Cat 5e Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPCH1MYLY is a Cat 5e copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This patch cord provides reliable, high-speed data connectivity between network equipment, patch panels, and wall outlets. Cat 5e performance supports Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet applications, with crosstalk and signal attenuation characteristics that meet or exceed TIA-568 channel requirements. The yellow jacket color coding aids in cable management and circuit identification on busy patch panels. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the typical installers.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment room patching in structured cabling systems. Common applications include connecting workstation ports to patch panels, linking switches to patch panels, and cross-connecting network equipment in telecommunications rooms. The yellow color designation is commonly used for specific VLAN or service identification schemes in enterprise cabling installations. It is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Cat 5e performance for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Yellow jacket for color-coded cable identification and circuit management
• Factory-terminated ends for consistent, tested terminations
• Suitable for structured cabling patch panel and equipment connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for Cat 5e structured cabling systems utilizing RJ45 patch panels and network equipment ports.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling contractors and network technicians typically install patch cords as part of structured cabling systems. Power down or place network ports in a disabled state before disconnecting active patch cords where network disruption is a concern. Follow TIA-568 and local building codes for low-voltage cabling installations. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain signal integrity.
