Panduit UTPSP31GRY Cat 6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPSP31GRY is a Cat 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Cat 6 patch cords support data transmission at up to 1 Gigabit per second and are backward compatible with Cat 5e infrastructure. This cord is finished in grey, making it suitable for color-coded cable management schemes. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use patch cords like this to connect equipment ports to patch panels, switches, and other active network hardware at the distribution point or work area outlet.

This patch cord is suited for use in horizontal cabling systems, telecommunications rooms, and equipment rooms where structured Cat 6 cabling is in place. It is appropriate for office networks, data centers, and any installation requiring a compliant Cat 6 connection between two RJ45 ports. The grey color designation supports organized, standards-based patch field labeling practices.

Key Features

• Cat 6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Grey color finish supports color-coded patch field organization
• RJ45 terminations for standard structured cabling connectivity
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat 6 and Cat 5e compatible patch panels, wall jacks, and network switches using standard RJ45 ports.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network cabling installers typically handle patch cord deployment. No tools are required for insertion, but verify that destination ports are not energized with PoE power when swapping active connections on sensitive equipment. Follow TIA-568 and ANSI structured cabling standards for bend radius and strain relief at termination points. Avoid sharp bends or pinching the cord jacket during routing.
