Panduit UTPSP17MRDY Cat 6 Copper Patch Cord Red

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPSP17MRDY is a Cat 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. This patch cord carries Ethernet data signals between network switches, patch panels, and end devices. It is terminated and ready to install out of the box, making it a standard choice for network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors. The red jacket color supports color-coded cable management practices, helping technicians quickly identify cable runs and reduce patching errors in high-density rack environments.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and vertical patch applications in telecommunications rooms, server rooms, and data centers. It supports Cat 6 performance standards, making it appropriate for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network protocols. Low-voltage installers and IT infrastructure technicians typically deploy this cable between patch panels and active equipment or between wall jacks and workstation devices.

Key Features

• Cat 6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed structured cabling applications
• Red jacket for color-coded cable identification and organization in patch panels
• Factory-terminated copper construction for reliable, consistent connectivity
• Ready-to-install patch cord requires no field termination
• Sold individually for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord suitable for use with Cat 6 patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 port equipment conforming to TIA-568 structured cabling standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or IT network personnel. Power down or disconnect active equipment from the relevant port before replacing a patch cord in a live environment where signal disruption is a concern. Follow TIA-568 and local building codes for structured cabling practices. Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable, as exceeding the minimum bend radius can degrade Cat 6 performance.
