Panduit UTPSP8.5MBLY Cat 6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPSP8.5MBLY is a Cat 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial network environments. This cord provides reliable Ethernet connectivity at Category 6 performance levels, supporting data transmission applications where consistent signal integrity is required. At 8.5 meters in length, it is suited for longer horizontal runs within a rack or between wall jacks and network equipment. Licensed data network technicians and low-voltage cabling professionals are the primary installers of this type of patch cord.

This patch cord is used in structured cabling systems for office buildings, data centers, server rooms, and similar commercial installations. It connects network switches, patch panels, routers, and end-user devices where Cat 6 performance is specified. The black jacket color aids in cable identification and color-coded management schemes. It is sold individually as a single unit.

Key Features

• Cat 6 performance rating for Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• Copper conductor construction for standard UTP network cabling
• 8.5-meter length suits rack-to-rack and cross-connect runs
• Black jacket for cable identification and color-coded management
• Single-unit packaging for precise quantity procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use Cat 6 patch cord for use with Cat 6 or higher rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 network equipment ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure professionals. Route patch cords through cable managers to avoid sharp bends that can degrade signal performance. Follow TIA-568 standards for Cat 6 cabling practices, including bend radius requirements. Avoid bundling patch cords too tightly with cable ties, as excessive compression can affect transmission characteristics.
