Panduit UTPSP22ORY Cat 6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPSP22ORY is a Cat 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Cat 6 patch cords carry data signals between network switches, patch panels, and end devices, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and higher-bandwidth applications. This cord ships in orange, which is commonly used for color-coded network identification and cable management. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for installation by low-voltage technicians, network cabling contractors, and IT infrastructure professionals.

This patch cord is suited for use in data centers, server rooms, office network closets, and any structured cabling environment requiring Cat 6 performance. The orange jacket aids in visual identification and port tracing at patch panels and network switches. It connects RJ45 ports on switches, routers, patch panels, wall jacks, and network interface cards in standard horizontal or equipment cabling runs.

Key Features

• Cat 6 copper construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and Cat 6 performance requirements
• Orange jacket for color-coded cable identification and port management
• RJ45 connectors on each end for standard network equipment termination
• Sold individually as a single patch cord unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for Cat 6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 connections in residential and commercial network installations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals typically install Cat 6 patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by ANSI/TIA-568 standards. No tools are required for patch cord installation at RJ45 ports. Avoid sharp bends, kinking, or bundling that exceeds the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Do not power down network equipment solely to install a patch cord unless the installation environment requires it.
