Panduit UTPSP20MRDY Cat 6 Copper Patch Cord Red

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPSP20MRDY is a Cat 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in network infrastructure applications. This patch cord provides a reliable, high-performance connection between network equipment, patch panels, and wall outlets. Cat 6 performance supports data transmission at up to 250 MHz, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network protocols. The red jacket color aids in visual cable management and circuit identification on busy patch panels. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this component.

This patch cord is used in commercial and residential structured cabling systems, data centers, telecommunications rooms, and server closets. It is well suited for horizontal and equipment room connections where Cat 6 performance is required. The red color designation is commonly used in color-coded cabling schemes to indicate specific network segments, VLANs, or critical circuits, helping technicians quickly trace and manage connections in dense patch panel environments.

Key Features

• Cat 6 rated for data transmission up to 250 MHz bandwidth
• Copper conductor construction for standard Ethernet and PoE applications
• Red jacket for easy visual identification and color-coded cable management
• Suitable for Gigabit Ethernet network connections
• Single unit (EA) packaging for flexible procurement

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or licensed electricians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Verify that all connected patch panels and jacks are rated at Cat 6 or higher to maintain link performance. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cord that could exceed the minimum bend radius and degrade signal integrity. Do not bundle patch cords tightly with high-voltage cables, as this can introduce interference.
