Panduit UTPSP85ORY Cat 6 Copper Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTPSP85ORY is a Cat 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Cat 6 patch cords carry Ethernet data at speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second and support bandwidth up to 250 MHz, making them a standard choice for horizontal runs, patch panel terminations, and equipment connections. The orange jacket color aids in cable identification and color-coded circuit management. This cord is sold as a single unit and is installed by licensed electricians, low-voltage cabling technicians, and network infrastructure professionals.

This patch cord is suited for use in data centers, telecommunications rooms, office environments, and industrial network closets. It connects network switches, patch panels, routers, and end-user devices in structured cabling systems built to ANSI/TIA-568 standards. The orange color designation is commonly used to identify specific network segments, VLANs, or circuits in larger installations where cable management and traceability are critical.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or licensed electricians following ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize or power down connected network equipment before making or changing patch cord connections where possible. Avoid sharp bends beyond the minimum bend radius of the cable, and do not over-bundle patch cords with cable ties, as excessive compression can degrade signal performance.
