Panduit QCRBCCB0002F039 CAT6 UTP Copper Trunk Cable 39ft Blue
Overview
The Panduit QCRBCCB0002F039 is a pre-terminated CAT6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper trunk cable in a 39-foot length, engineered for structured cabling deployments in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise backbone runs. As part of Panduit's QuickNet trunk cable system, this assembly delivers a factory-terminated, plug-and-play approach that eliminates field termination labor and the associated risk of variable workmanship — a real advantage when you're turning up dozens of cabinet connections under deadline pressure.
At 250 MHz bandwidth with support for 1 Gbps data rates, this trunk is sized for high-density copper horizontal and inter-rack distribution where Gigabit Ethernet is the baseline and the emphasis is on repeatable, auditable infrastructure.

Key Features
- CAT6 / 250 MHz bandwidth: Supports full Category 6 channel performance to 250 MHz — headroom above the 100 MHz CAT5e threshold that matters in dense patch environments where aggregate crosstalk can degrade headroom. If you're running 1000BASE-T across 24–48 ports on a single cable run, CAT6 margin is worth having.
- 1 Gbps data rate: Matched to Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure. This isn't a 10GbE solution — if your inter-rack runs will carry 10GBASE-T, you need CAT6A or above. For 1G access layer and patch distribution, this trunk hits the spec cleanly without over-engineering.
- UTP (Unshielded) construction: No foil or braid shielding means easier installation in standard data center environments without grounding infrastructure. The tradeoff: if your facility has significant EMI sources (motors, generators, dense power cabling) running parallel to data runs, a shielded variant will perform more predictably. In well-separated cable trays, UTP at this length is the practical choice for most enterprise rooms.
- 39-foot pre-terminated length: Factory termination removes the variability of field-crimped or punched-down ends — every connector is tested and certified before it ships. The 39-foot run (approximately 12 meters) targets typical rack-to-rack or top-of-rack to patch panel distances in mid-depth data center rows or telecommunications closets where floor-to-ceiling routing adds real cable length.
- Blue jacket color: Consistent color coding across your copper trunk infrastructure simplifies port-level administration and speeds up moves-adds-changes. Blue is a widely adopted convention for data runs in TIA-606-B administration standards.
- TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 compliance: Dual standard compliance means this cable fits both North American (TIA) and international (ISO) channel certification requirements — relevant if you're deploying in multi-national enterprise environments or need to pass a third-party channel audit. UL Listing adds a domestic safety verification layer that some facilities managers require for above-ceiling or plenum-adjacent runs.
- Pre-assembled trunk format: The QuickNet system is designed to connect directly to Panduit's patch panel and modular cassette infrastructure without individual jack terminations. This changes the labor equation significantly — a skilled tech can deploy a pre-tested trunk in minutes rather than the 20–40 minutes required to terminate, test, and certify a field-run equivalent. Factor that into your install cost when comparing to bulk cable pricing.
Integration & Compatibility
The QCRBCCB0002F039 is designed to integrate with Panduit's QuickNet modular cassette system, including CAT6 UTP cassettes and patch panels that accept the QuickNet trunk connector format. Verify cassette and panel compatibility with Panduit's QuickNet system documentation before ordering — trunk connector types and keying vary across the product family, and a mismatch means the trunk won't seat correctly regardless of cable category.
For network switches and patch equipment, this cable supports standard RJ-45 connectivity consistent with Panduit patch panel and passive distribution infrastructure. If you're designing a full structured cabling channel — trunk, cassette, patch cord — review your channel loss budget against TIA-568-C.2 to confirm the combined insertion loss meets your switch's receiver sensitivity. Pair with an appropriate PoE or managed switch for complete end-to-end copper channel deployment.
Standards compliance with TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 means third-party channel certification testers (Fluke DSX, Ideal, TREND) will recognize this as a certifiable CAT6 component — important for installations that require as-built certification documentation. Consult a structured cabling planning guide for channel budget calculations before finalizing trunk lengths across a full deployment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What connector type does the QCRBCCB0002F039 use?
A: The QCRBCCB0002F039 is part of Panduit's QuickNet trunk cable system and uses the QuickNet pre-terminated trunk connector format designed for mating with Panduit QuickNet cassettes and patch panels. Confirm the specific connector keying matches your installed cassette model before ordering.
Q: Is the QCRBCCB0002F039 suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
A: No. This is a CAT6 UTP cable rated for 250 MHz bandwidth and 1 Gbps data rates. 10GBASE-T requires CAT6A cabling rated to 500 MHz. For 10GbE inter-rack runs, select a CAT6A trunk instead.
Q: Does the QCRBCCB0002F039 require grounding at installation?
A: No. This is an unshielded (UTP) cable and does not require a ground path. If your environment has significant EMI sources running parallel to data cabling, a shielded (STP/FTP) variant may be more appropriate.
Q: What standards does the QCRBCCB0002F039 meet?
A: The QCRBCCB0002F039 meets TIA-568-C.2 (North American structured cabling standard), ISO/IEC 11801 (international structured cabling standard), and is UL Listed. These certifications support both domestic and international channel certification requirements.
Q: Can this trunk cable be used in plenum (air-handling) spaces?
A: The source evidence does not specify a plenum (CMP) or riser (CMR) jacket rating for this SKU. Verify the jacket rating with Panduit documentation before installing in air-handling spaces — building codes require CMP-rated cables in plenum environments.
The QCRBCCB0002F039 is a straightforward specification decision: you're buying factory-certified CAT6 UTP trunk performance at 250 MHz in a fixed 39-foot run. Where this trunk earns its place is in high-density telecommunications rooms where the labor delta between field-terminated bulk cable and a pre-tested QuickNet assembly justifies the unit cost premium — particularly when you're commissioning 20 or 40 trunks simultaneously and every field-termination error costs you a re-test cycle.
Technical Highlights:
- 250 MHz / CAT6 headroom: Running 10 dB above the CAT5e 100 MHz threshold gives this trunk measurable NEXT and return-loss margin in high-port-density panels where aggregate crosstalk is a real performance factor, not just a spec box to check.
- 1 Gbps / TIA-568-C.2 compliance: Dual-standard certification (TIA + ISO/IEC 11801) means the channel can be independently certified by a third-party auditor with standard DSX or similar testers — important for enterprise clients who require as-built certification documentation at project close.
- UTP construction at 39 feet: At this length, UTP is the right call in standard data center cable trays with proper separation from power. You're not pushing the EMI risk profile — save the shielded variants for runs that share pathways with dense power infrastructure.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm QuickNet cassette compatibility before procurement — trunk connector keying varies across Panduit's QuickNet product family, and a keying mismatch means the assembly won't seat regardless of cable category match.
- The 39-foot length is fixed and pre-terminated; there is no field-adjustable slack. Measure your actual routing path including vertical drops, cable tray runs, and service loops before specifying this length — undershooting by even 2 feet on a routed path means a re-order.
This trunk is the right specification for enterprise telecommunications room deployments where a mix of 1G access switching and structured patch panel administration demands reliable, certifiable CAT6 channel performance with repeatable factory-quality terminations — specifically when project timelines compress field installation windows and rework cost is a real risk.
