Overview

The Panduit NetKey Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord (SKU: NK6APC2RD) delivers high-performance, unshielded connectivity for 10GBASE-T networks with backward compatibility to 10/100/1000BASE-T. Constructed with 26 AWG stranded copper conductors in a CM/LSZH jacket, this patch cord ensures reliable signal integrity while meeting ANSI/TIA-568.2-D:2018 standards. The patented tangle-free latch prevents snags during frequent moves, adds, and changes, reducing downtime in dynamic environments. Its slender strain relief boot and 0.20-inch outer diameter enable easy access in high-density patching areas, improving airflow and port visibility. Ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and PoE applications (IEEE 802.3bt Type 1-4), this 2-foot red patch cord supports Power over Ethernet up to 100W, ensuring compatibility with modern power-hungry devices. The LSZH jacket resists flame propagation and emits low smoke, making it suitable for plenum and riser spaces. Pre-terminated with enhanced-performance modular plugs, the NK6APC2RD minimizes installation time and eliminates termination errors. Backed by Panduit’s quality assurance, this patch cord is a cost-effective solution for high-speed, high-density networking deployments where space efficiency and reliability are critical.
