Overview

The Panduit UTPCH20YLY is a 20-foot TX5e Cat 5e Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cord, engineered for reliable network connectivity. This cord features a vibrant yellow CM-rated cable, constructed from 24 AWG stranded conductors, ensuring durability and adherence to safety standards for in-wall and general-purpose installations. Equipped with Panduit's proprietary Pan-Plug modular plugs, this patch cord guarantees a secure and stable connection for your networking infrastructure. A key innovation is the tangle-free latch design, which significantly reduces snagging during installation and maintenance, allowing for faster and more efficient moves, adds, and changes (MACs) within your network. This feature is crucial for environments requiring frequent network reconfiguration, minimizing downtime and operational disruption. Furthermore, the UTPCH20YLY is enabled with RapidID technology. Each cord comes with pre-installed barcodes, facilitating simplified port mapping and asset management when used in conjunction with Panduit's RapidID software. This integration streamlines network documentation and troubleshooting processes, providing clear visibility into your network topology. Ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications closets, this Cat 5e patch cord supports data transmission up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and is backward compatible with lower Ethernet standards. Its stranded construction offers flexibility, making it suitable for patch panel to switch connections or workstation drops where flexibility is paramount. The yellow color coding aids in visual identification and organization of network cabling, further enhancing management efficiency. Manufactured in the USA, the UTPCH20YLY (SKU: UTPCH20YLY) represents Panduit's commitment to quality and performance in network cabling solutions.
