Overview

The Panduit TX5e Cat 5e UTP Patch Cord (SKU: UTP28CH6GY) delivers reliable, low-profile connectivity for structured cabling systems in data centers, enterprise networks, and commercial installations. This 6-foot grey patch cord features a 0.150-inch (3.8mm) diameter and is constructed from 28 AWG unshielded twisted pair stranded CM-rated cable, ensuring compliance with fire safety standards for plenum and riser applications. The compact 28 AWG design reduces bulk, simplifying installation and cable management in high-density environments. Equipped with Pan-Plug modular plugs, the patch cord ensures secure, tangle-free connections with a latch designed to prevent snags during moves, adds, and changes. RapidID technology is pre-installed, featuring barcodes for streamlined port mapping and asset tracking via Panduit’s RapidID software. The 28 AWG stranded cable construction provides flexibility and durability, making it ideal for frequent reconfigurations in dynamic network environments. The CM-rated cable meets NEC (National Electrical Code) requirements for general-purpose communications cabling, ensuring safe deployment in walls, ceilings, and other building spaces. The grey color-coding aligns with TIA/EIA-606-B standards for easy identification in structured cabling systems. The patch cord supports Gigabit Ethernet applications, delivering up to 100 MHz bandwidth for high-speed data transmission. Its unshielded design reduces weight and cost while maintaining performance in typical office and data center environments. The tangle-free latch mechanism enhances operational efficiency by minimizing downtime during network reconfigurations. Pre-applied barcodes enable quick and accurate inventory management, reducing human error in asset tracking. This Cat 5e UTP patch cord is optimized for use with Panduit’s RapidID software suite, which integrates with network management platforms for comprehensive infrastructure visibility.
