Description

Panduit NK6APC3RD 3FT CAT6A RED NETKEY PATCH CORD CM/LSZH

Overview

The Panduit NK6APC3RD is a 3-foot Category 6A patch cord designed for high-speed Ethernet network deployments. Its red color aids in visual identification for network segmentation or critical link designation. Rated CM/LSZH (Plenum/Low Smoke Zero Halogen), this cable meets stringent fire safety codes for installation in commercial buildings and data centers, minimizing smoke and toxic gas release in case of fire. This specific cable is intended for use in bulk quantities (MOQ10) for large-scale rollouts.

Compatibility

This Cat6A patch cord is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e systems but is optimized for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) performance up to 100 meters. It is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and network devices, including switches, routers, servers, and workstations. Use with Panduit's NetKey system components ensures optimal performance and adherence to TIA/EIA standards.

Installation Notes

Ensure proper strain relief when connecting to patch panels and network devices to avoid damaging the internal conductors or the RJ45 connector. The CM/LSZH jacket requires adherence to local building codes regarding cable management and fire stopping in plenum spaces. Avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4x cable diameter radius to maintain signal integrity.
