Panduit UTPSP4MBLY Cat 6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPSP4MBLY is a Cat 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Cat 6 patch cords carry Ethernet signals at up to 1 Gbps with support for 250 MHz bandwidth, making them a standard choice for connecting network equipment to patch panels, switches, and wall jacks. The black jacket aids in color-coded cable management. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers of this component in data rooms, telecom closets, and office environments.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment-room patching applications in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 standards. It connects end devices such as workstations, VoIP phones, and access points to active network equipment. The black jacket color is commonly used to designate specific port groups or network segments in color-coded patching schemes, supporting organized cable management in high-density installations.

Key Features

• Cat 6 performance supporting up to 250 MHz bandwidth and 1 Gbps Ethernet
• Copper conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Black jacket for color-coded cable identification and port management
• Standard RJ-45 connectors for universal compatibility with Cat 6 and Cat 5e jacks and ports
• Sold individually as a single patch cord unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat 6 patch cord for use with RJ-45 patch panels, wall jacks, and network switch ports in TIA-568-compliant structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers typically handle patch cord deployment in structured cabling environments. No tools are required for patching; simply seat the RJ-45 connector fully until the locking tab clicks. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Follow TIA-568 guidelines for cable routing and labeling in commercial installations.
