Panduit UTPSP46VLY Cat 6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPSP46VLY is a Cat 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Cat 6 patch cords carry data at up to 1 Gbps with full compliance to TIA-568-C.2 performance standards, supporting reduced crosstalk and improved signal integrity over Cat 5e. This cord is finished in violet, which aligns with common color-coding practices used to identify specific network segments or VLANs. Network technicians, low-voltage cabling contractors, and IT infrastructure teams use patch cords like this for cross-connects at patch panels, switch ports, and structured cabling outlets.

The UTPSP46VLY is suited for horizontal and backbone patching in data centers, server rooms, office networks, and telecommunications rooms. Violet coloring supports organized, color-coded patch field management. This cord ships individually as a single unit and is appropriate for both new installations and maintenance of existing Cat 6 structured cabling infrastructure.

Key Features

• Cat 6 performance rating supporting high-speed data transmission up to 1 Gbps
• Copper UTP construction for standard structured cabling compatibility
• Violet jacket color for segment identification and patch field color coding
• Single-unit packaging for flexible procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat 6 and backward-compatible Cat 5e structured cabling systems using standard 8P8C (RJ45) terminations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and IT staff install Cat 6 patch cords without special tools beyond a clean, seated connection at each RJ45 port. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are free of debris before seating the cord. Installations in commercial buildings should follow TIA-568 standards and applicable local low-voltage wiring codes. Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension that can degrade Cat 6 performance.
