Panduit UTPSP15Y Cat 6 UTP Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTPSP15Y is a 15-foot, off-white Cat 6 UTP patch cord designed for reliable network connectivity in commercial and industrial environments. Constructed with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and a CM-rated jacket, this cable supports high-speed data transmission up to 500 MHz, exceeding Cat 6A channel performance standards. Its design prioritizes ease of use and rapid deployment, featuring a patented tangle-free latch that prevents snags and simplifies moves, adds, and changes. The slender strain relief boot allows for easy access in high-density racks, and integrated RapidID barcodes facilitate quick port identification with compatible software.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered for standard Ethernet applications including 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), and 10GBASE-T over limited distances as specified by industry standards. It also supports ATM (155 Mb/s, 622 Mb/s, 1.2 Gb/s), Token Ring (4/16), digital video, and VoIP. The cable is rated for 2500 mating cycles and is compliant with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE++) standards, making it suitable for powering network devices like cameras, access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power supplies.

Installation Notes

The Panduit UTPSP15Y features a CM (Communications Multipurpose) flammability rating, suitable for use in riser pathways. Its tangle-free latch design ensures secure connection and release without breaking. The integral pair manager helps maintain conductor separation for optimal performance. Factory testing guarantees 100% performance for wire map, Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and return loss, ensuring reliability out of the box.
