Panduit UTPSP17MVLY Cat 6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPSP17MVLY is a Cat 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This patch cord provides reliable copper connectivity at Category 6 performance standards, supporting high-speed data transmission across horizontal and vertical cable runs. The violet jacket color aids in visual cable management and zone identification on patch panels and switch ports. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the typical installers for this type of structured wiring component.

This patch cord is suited for use in data centers, telecommunications rooms, office networks, and server rack environments where Cat 6 performance is required. It connects network equipment such as switches, patch panels, routers, and end-user devices. The violet color coding is commonly used to designate specific network segments or VLANs in color-coded cabling schemes, making it a practical choice for organized, high-density installations.

Key Features

• Category 6 copper construction meets TIA-568 performance standards for high-speed data transmission
• Violet jacket supports color-coded cable management on patch panels and switch ports
• Flexible copper conductors allow for easy routing in rack and wall environments
• Sold as individual unit for precise quantity control on installations

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and licensed electricians typically install structured cabling patch cords under guidelines set by TIA-568 and local low-voltage wiring codes. Ensure patch panel ports and switch ports are properly terminated before connecting the patch cord. Avoid sharp bends beyond the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain signal integrity. Do not route alongside high-voltage conductors without proper separation as required by NEC Article 800.
