Panduit UTPK6A3MYL Keyed Copper Patch Cord Cat6a

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPK6A3MYL is a keyed copper patch cord rated for Category 6A (Cat6A) performance. It provides structured cabling connectivity in network installations where physical port security is a priority. The keyed plug design restricts unauthorized cable insertion or removal, making it well suited for data centers, server rooms, and secure network closets. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals are the primary installers of this patch cord. It delivers the high-frequency bandwidth and low crosstalk characteristics required by Cat6A standards, supporting 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications over copper UTP infrastructure.

This patch cord is used in horizontal and cross-connect cabling runs within enterprise and commercial network environments. It is appropriate wherever a Cat6A UTP connection is needed between patch panels, switches, routers, or end devices. The keyed plug format is particularly common in high-density data center deployments and regulated environments where port access control is enforced at the physical layer.

Key Features

• Keyed plug design restricts unauthorized port access at the physical layer
• Cat6A-rated copper UTP construction supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Sold individually, making it easy to order exact quantities needed
• Designed for use in data centers, server rooms, and secure network closets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for Cat6A keyed jack and patch panel systems requiring a keyed plug interface.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with applicable TIA and ANSI structured cabling standards. Ensure the patch panel or switch port is powered down or that proper ESD precautions are followed before handling sensitive network equipment. Confirm that the keyed plug and keyway orientation match the installed jack before seating the connector. Do not force the connector into a non-keyed port.
