Panduit NK6PC7VLY Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit NK6PC7VLY is a 7-foot Category 6 UTP patch cord in violet, designed for robust data networking and Power over Ethernet applications. Its stranded 24 AWG conductors and CM flammability rating make it suitable for in-wall or plenum-rated installations where flexibility and network performance are critical. This cord is 100% performance tested to exceed TIA-568.2-D Category 6 standards up to 250 MHz, ensuring reliable Gigabit Ethernet and VoIP transmission.

Compatibility

This patch cord supports a wide range of network protocols including Ethernet 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet), and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet). It is also compatible with 155 Mb/s, 622 Mb/s, and 1.2 Gb/s ATM, Token Ring 4/16, and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) deployments. Crucially, it supports IEEE 802.3af/802.3at and 802.3bt types 3 and 4 PoE applications, meaning it can reliably deliver power up to 100W to compatible devices without signal degradation.

Installation Notes

Featuring a patented tangle-free latch and a slender strain relief boot, the NK6PC7VLY simplifies installation and reduces the risk of connector damage during handling. The stranded 24 AWG conductors provide necessary flexibility for routing in dense network racks or conduits. This cable is CM rated, allowing for use in certain riser or plenum spaces as permitted by local codes, though verification with fire codes is always recommended.
