Panduit UTPCH20GYY Copper Patch Cord Cat5

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPCH20GYY is a Category 5 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Patch cords in this category carry data signals between network switches, patch panels, and end devices, forming the final link in a horizontal cabling run. This cord is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for installation by low-voltage technicians, network cabling contractors, and data center technicians who require a reliable, standards-compliant copper interconnect for everyday patching tasks.

Category 5 copper patch cords are used in structured cabling systems that support Ethernet and voice applications. Typical installation scenarios include equipment rooms, telecommunications closets, and desktop patching at workstations. This cord is well suited for environments where Cat5-level performance meets the bandwidth and transmission requirements of the installed network infrastructure.

Key Features

• Category 5 copper construction for standard Ethernet and voice patching
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing
• Intended for use in structured cabling hardware and accessory applications
• Suitable for patch panel to switch connections and workstation drops

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for use in Category 5 structured cabling systems with compatible RJ45 patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or place connected network equipment in a safe state before disconnecting active patch cords to avoid network interruption. Avoid sharp bends or kinks below the minimum bend radius specified for Cat5 cabling, and do not over-bundle or tightly cinch cords with cable ties, as this can degrade signal performance.
