Overview

The Panduit STP6C2MBU is a Category 6a shielded patch cord engineered for high-speed data transmission in demanding network environments. This 2-meter cord features 26 AWG unshielded twisted pair stranded copper cable, providing robust performance for 10GBASE-T networks when integrated into a complete PowerCat 6A solution. Each end is terminated with an enhanced performance shielded modular plug, ensuring superior signal integrity and minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI). The patch cord is compatible with both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, offering flexibility in installation. It undergoes 100% performance testing for wire map, Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and return loss, guaranteeing high-level performance and reliability. The cable is jacketed with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, contributing to safety in enclosed spaces. The internal tape utilizes HDPE insulation, which maintains the inherent electromagnetic interference immunity of Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) while providing enhanced protection. This specific model, SKU STP6C2MBU, is manufactured by Panduit and is designed for applications requiring reliable Category 6A connectivity. Its construction supports PoE IEEE 802.3 type 1, 2, 3 & 4, provided installation guidance is followed. The cord meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D:2018 compliance standards. The shielded design and quality construction make it ideal for data centers, premise network applications, and premise automation where high bandwidth and signal integrity are critical. The low-profile, strain-relief boots on the shielded RJ45 plugs prevent snagging and protect the cable connection. This patch cord is manufactured in the USA and adheres to RoHS compliance.
