Panduit UTPSP13ORY Cat 6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPSP13ORY is a Cat 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. It provides a reliable, low-loss copper connection between patch panels, switches, routers, and networked equipment. Cat 6 performance supports data transmission up to 250 MHz bandwidth, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications. The orange jacket color allows for quick visual identification and color-coded cable management in dense patch environments. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers of this type of patch cord.

This patch cord is used in structured cabling systems for horizontal runs, cross-connections, and equipment connections in telecommunications rooms, data centers, and office network closets. It is suited for environments where Cat 6 performance is specified and visual color coding of cable runs is required for organized cable management. The orange jacket is commonly designated for specific network segments or VLAN identification in enterprise cabling practices.

Key Features

• Cat 6 rated for up to 250 MHz bandwidth, supporting Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Orange jacket color for visual identification and color-coded cable management
• Sold individually as a single unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord for Cat 6 structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or electricians in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Verify that the patch panel and connected equipment ports are also rated for Cat 6 to maintain category performance. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius, and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that the cable jacket deforms, as both can degrade signal performance.
