Panduit UTPCH2MBLY Cat 5e Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPCH2MBLY is a Cat 5e copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This patch cord provides reliable copper connectivity between network equipment, patch panels, and wall jacks. Built to Category 5e performance standards, it supports data transmission at up to 100 MHz, making it suitable for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet applications. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cord to complete horizontal and equipment connections in data closets, server rooms, and workstation drops. The blue jacket aids in color-coded cable management.

This patch cord is used in structured cabling systems where Cat 5e performance is required. Typical applications include patching between patch panels and network switches, connecting workstations to wall outlets, and organizing data center equipment connections. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both new installations and adds, moves, and changes in existing network infrastructures.

Key Features

• Cat 5e rated for up to 100 MHz bandwidth
• Copper conductor construction for standard Ethernet connectivity
• Blue jacket for color-coded cable management
• Designed for use in patch panels, switches, and network jacks
• Sold as a single patch cord unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with standard RJ45 Cat 5e patch panels, network switches, and keystone jack outlets in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage installers and network technicians typically install Cat 5e patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards. No tools are required for connection to RJ45 ports. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Do not overtighten cable management hardware against the cord jacket.
