Panduit UTPSP16VLY Cat 6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPSP16VLY is a Cat 6 copper patch cord used to establish structured cabling connections in data and communications networks. It carries Ethernet signals between network switches, patch panels, wall jacks, and end devices. The violet jacket color follows common color-coding conventions for network identification and cable management. This patch cord is sold as a single unit and is typically installed by low-voltage technicians, IT professionals, and licensed electricians working on structured cabling systems.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment room applications in both residential and commercial structured cabling installations. Common use cases include connecting patch panels to network switches, linking workstation ports to outlet faceplates, and building short equipment runs in telecommunications rooms and server closets. Its Cat 6 rating supports high-speed data transmission demands found in modern office and enterprise environments.

Key Features

• Cat 6 performance rating for high-speed Ethernet network applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Violet jacket for color-coded cable identification and organization
• Single-unit packaging for precise quantity control on installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord compatible with Cat 6 and backward-compatible Cat 5e keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or electricians in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends or exceeding the minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Do not staple or pinch the cord during routing. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are free of debris before seating the connectors.
