Network Patch Cords
Network patch cords from Optiunik cover the complete copper Ethernet stack — Cat5e (100 MHz), Cat6 (250 MHz), Cat6A (500 MHz), and Cat8 (2000 MHz) — in both shielded (S/FTP, F/UTP) and unshielded (U/UTP) constructions. All copper conductors are 100% bare copper (CCA strictly forbidden), gold-flashed 50µ" 8P8C plugs, and individually tested for continuity, wire-map, attenuation, NEXT, and return loss before packaging. Jacket choices include flexible PVC for office runs, LSZH for plenum and riser installs, and outdoor PE for direct-bury applications. Custom lengths from 0.3 m to 30 m ship in 0.5 m increments, and bulk colors (blue, gray, black, white, green, yellow, red, orange) are stocked for color-coded installations. Each cable carries a permanent factory ID for traceability back to test data.
