Description
The PANDUIT UTP28SP17BU is a Category 6 copper patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Category 6 patch cords support data transmission at frequencies up to 250 MHz and are commonly used to terminate horizontal cable runs at patch panels, switches, and network equipment. This cord is sold as a single unit and is installed by low-voltage technicians, network technicians, and licensed electricians performing data cabling work. It provides a reliable, tested connection point within a structured cabling system.
This patch cord is suited for use in telecommunications rooms, data centers, server closets, and at the workstation outlet. It connects end devices such as computers, VoIP phones, and access points to patch panels or active network equipment. The Category 6 rating makes it appropriate for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed data applications where signal integrity and crosstalk performance are critical.
Key Features
- Category 6 rated copper construction for high-speed data cabling applications
- Supports structured cabling system terminations at patch panels and network switches
- Sold as a single unit for precise quantity purchasing
- Designed for use in both commercial and residential low-voltage network installations
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for Category 6 structured cabling systems with standard RJ45 termination points.
Installation Notes
Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or licensed electricians in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active network equipment before replacing patch cords in live switching environments where disruption is a concern. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius specified for Category 6 cabling, as this can degrade signal performance. Inspect RJ45 connectors on both ends for full seating before testing the link.
