Panduit ISTPH6X5MTL Industrial Copper Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit ISTPH6X5MTL is a 5-meter (16.4 ft) teal Industrial Copper Patch Cord designed for demanding industrial environments. It features a rugged SF/UTP, 26 AWG stranded conductor construction with industrial-grade modular plugs and black strain relief boots. This cord is specifically engineered to support high-flex applications and is rated for 600V panel or on-machine deployments where it might share space with high-voltage power cables, ensuring reliable data transmission in automation and control systems.

Compatibility

This patch cord supports all standard Ethernet applications including 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, 1000BASE-T, and Industrial Ethernet protocols like Ethernet/IP. It is designed for control panel deployments, uplinks from control panels to consolidation points, and high-flex scenarios such as robotic arms or C-track systems. Its construction meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class Ea standards, ensuring compatibility with high-speed networking infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The cable is UL AWM Style 2463 rated for 80°C and 600V, suitable for applications involving power source voltages. It is designed to meet IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at for PoE+ applications, meaning it can safely carry power to network devices, simplifying installation by reducing the need for separate power supplies. The CM flammability rating indicates suitability for use in building risers.
