Panduit UTPCH2MGRY Cat 5e Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPCH2MGRY is a Cat 5e copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This patch cord provides a reliable, terminated copper connection between network equipment, patch panels, and wall outlets. Built to Cat 5e performance standards, it supports data transmission applications up to 100 MHz and is suited for use in telecom rooms, server closets, and open-office cabling infrastructure. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cord for horizontal and equipment bay patching.

This patch cord is intended for use in IEEE 802.3 Ethernet network installations, including 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T applications. It is a standard equipment-bay and cross-connect patch cord suitable for use at patch panels, switches, routers, and network interface equipment. The gray jacket color supports color-coded cable management practices common in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 standards.

Key Features

• Cat 5e rated for data transmission up to 100 MHz
• Copper conductor construction for standard Ethernet patching
• Gray jacket supports color-coded cable management
• 2-meter length suitable for equipment bay and patch panel connections
• Factory-terminated for consistent, reliable termination quality

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for Cat 5e structured cabling systems using RJ45 terminations per TIA-568 specifications.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage installers and network technicians handle patch cord installation as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 and local building codes. Ensure patch panel and equipment ports are free of debris before seating the RJ45 connectors. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cord, as exceeding the minimum bend radius can degrade signal performance. Do not route patch cords alongside high-voltage conductors without proper separation.
