Panduit UTPKSP10MRD Keyed Cat6a Patch Cord 10M Red

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPKSP10MRD is a keyed copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations where physical port security is a priority. The keyed connector design restricts unauthorized cable insertion and removal, making this cord well suited for data centers, server rooms, and high-security network environments. At 10 meters in length, it supports horizontal and equipment-bay runs where standard patch cords fall short. Licensed BICSI technicians, network cabling installers, and low-voltage contractors are the primary trades that specify and install this type of patch cord.

This patch cord is used in Cat6A structured cabling systems where port lockout and cable management discipline are required. Typical installation scenarios include high-density patch panels in enterprise data centers, colocation facilities, and campus network closets. The red jacket color aids in cable identification and zone-based color coding schemes. It is sold as a single unit and is intended for use with compatible keyed jacks and keystone modules that accept the PANDUIT keyed connector format.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use in Cat6A keyed copper cabling systems and compatible with PANDUIT keyed patch panel ports and keystone jacks that accept the corresponding keyed connector format. Verify keyed system compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure patch panel ports and wall jacks are keyed to match this cord before installation, as mismatched keyed systems will not mate. Do not force connectors into non-keyed or incompatible ports. Follow facility cable management guidelines and label both ends of the cord at termination.
