Panduit UTPSP31RDY Cat 6 Copper Patch Cord Red

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPSP31RDY is a Cat 6 copper patch cord finished in red, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial network environments. Cat 6 patch cords support Ethernet applications up to 10 Gbps at shorter distances and provide reliable performance for standard 1 Gbps network links. The red jacket color aids in cable identification and zone-based color-coding schemes used in patch panels and data closets. This cord is sold individually and is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage technicians or qualified IT infrastructure professionals.

This patch cord is suited for use in horizontal cabling cross-connects, patch panels, and equipment connections in telecommunications rooms, data centers, server closets, and office environments. The red color designation is commonly used to identify specific VLANs, security zones, or traffic types within a structured cabling system. It connects network switches, routers, servers, and end-user workstations as part of a Cat 6 cabling infrastructure.

Key Features

• Cat 6 rated copper construction for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Red jacket for visual identification and color-coded patch field organization
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement or incremental additions
• Designed for use in structured cabling systems per TIA-568 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for Cat 6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 patch panels and network equipment with RJ45 ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or IT infrastructure professionals. No tools are required for patch cord termination at the port level, though the overall cabling system should comply with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket, as this can degrade signal performance. Verify that patch panel ports and switch ports are clean and free of debris before insertion.
