Panduit QCRBCCB0002F010 Cat6 UTP Slim-Line Copper Patch Cable 10ft

Overview

The Panduit QCRBCCB0002F010 is a 10-foot Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper patch cable engineered for structured cabling in enterprise networking, data centers, and telecommunications rooms. Built to TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards and carrying UL Listing, this cable is a drop-in choice when you need compliant horizontal or cross-connect runs in high-density patch environments. The slim-line form factor keeps cable bundles manageable in rack-dense installations where airflow and physical organization directly affect reliability.

This is not a commodity cable — the QCRBCCB0002F010 is part of Panduit's CP QN (QuickNet) system, which is designed for structured cabling environments where traceability, consistency, and standards compliance are non-negotiable. If you're building or expanding a structured cabling infrastructure and need to document compliance on a per-run basis, Panduit's adherence to both the North American TIA-568-C.2 and international ISO/IEC 11801 standards means the same cable works in multi-region deployments without re-certification headaches.

Key Features

• Cat6 Performance (TIA-568-C.2 / ISO/IEC 11801 Compliant): Category 6 UTP delivers up to 1 Gbps at 100 meters and supports 10GBASE-T at shorter distances — the right performance tier for IP camera backhaul, VoIP endpoints, access control readers, and general enterprise data runs. Standards compliance means the cable performs to spec under test, not just in marketing copy.
• UTP (Unshielded) Construction: Unshielded means faster termination, lower cost per run, and no grounding requirements — the correct choice in environments without significant EMI sources. In a typical structured cabling closet or office environment, UTP eliminates the ground-loop risk that improperly terminated shielded cable can introduce. Save shielded variants for runs near heavy industrial equipment or in the same conduit as power wiring.
• 10-Foot Length: At 10 feet, this cable is sized for patch panel-to-switch connections in a 2-post or 4-post rack, or for short horizontal runs between adjacent equipment. This length avoids excess slack that creates airflow obstructions in dense rack environments — a detail that matters when you're managing thermals across dozens of patch positions.
• UL Listed: UL Listing means the cable has been evaluated by an independent safety laboratory. In commercial construction and enterprise deployments, UL Listing is frequently required by facilities management and is expected documentation for AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) sign-off during installation inspections.
• Slim-Line (SL) Form Factor: The reduced-diameter jacket keeps bend radii tighter and cable bundles more compact in high-density patch panels. In a fully-populated 48-port patch panel, slim-line cables can reduce bundle diameter enough to meaningfully improve rear-of-rack access and airflow.
• QuickNet (QN) System Compatibility: Designed to integrate with Panduit's Panduit structured cabling QuickNet modular patching ecosystem — including pre-terminated cassettes, angled patch panels, and zone distribution assemblies. This matters when you're deploying a managed cabling plant where cable, connectors, and patch equipment are sourced from a single system for end-to-end channel performance documentation.

Integration & Compatibility

The QCRBCCB0002F010 is compatible with any RJ-45 interface operating at Cat6 or lower — including PoE and PoE+ switches (802.3af/at), IP cameras, NVRs, VoIP handsets, access control panels, and wireless access points. The UTP construction is compliant with standard 568A and 568B wiring conventions. In a PoE switch deployment, Cat6 UTP at this length is well within the power delivery limits for 802.3at (PoE+, 30W) and 802.3bt (PoE++, 60-90W) — no derating required at 10 feet.

For deployments that require cross-connect documentation — particularly in financial, healthcare, or government facilities — the TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 dual-standard compliance supports both domestic and international audit requirements. Pair with Panduit's cable management products (horizontal managers, vertical lacing bars) to maintain the bend radius and slack management the standards require.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What standards does the QCRBCCB0002F010 comply with?

A: The QCRBCCB0002F010 meets TIA-568-C.2 (North American structured cabling standard), ISO/IEC 11801 (international), and carries UL Listing for safety compliance.

Q: Is this cable shielded or unshielded?

A: Unshielded (UTP). This is the correct choice for standard commercial environments without significant EMI. If your run passes near heavy industrial motors or power conduit, a shielded Cat6 variant would be more appropriate.

Q: Can this cable carry PoE or PoE+ power?

A: Yes. Cat6 UTP at 10 feet is within specification for 802.3af (15.4W), 802.3at/PoE+ (30W), and 802.3bt/PoE++ (60-90W) without derating. Verify your switch's per-port power budget, not the cable.

Q: What is the QuickNet (QN) system designation in this part number?

A: QN indicates this cable is part of Panduit's QuickNet modular patching system, designed for use with QuickNet pre-terminated cassettes, patch panels, and zone distribution assemblies for managed, documentation-grade cabling plants.

Q: Is the QCRBCCB0002F010 suitable for use in a data center structured cabling environment?

A: Yes. Panduit specifically lists data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise networking as the target application. The dual TIA/ISO standard compliance and UL Listing support data center deployment requirements.
