*Please contact customer service for
color availability.
**To designate color, add suffix IW (Off White),
EI (Electric Ivory), IG (International Gray),
WH (White), BL (Black), OR (Orange),
RD (Red), BU (Blue), GR (Green), YL (Yellow)
or VL (Violet).
^For lengths 1 to 20 feet (increments of one
foot) and 25, 30, 35, 40 feet, change the length
designation in the part number to desired
length. For standard cable colors other than Off
White, add suffix BL (Black), BU (Blue), GR
(Green), RD (Red), YL (Yellow), OR (Orange)
or VL (Violet) before the Y at the end of the
part number. For example, the part number for
a blue, 15-foot patch cord is UTPCH15BUY.
^^For lengths 1 to 10 meters (increments of
one meter) and 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 15, 20 meters,
change the length designation in the part
number to the desired length. For standard
cable colors other than Off White, add suffix
BL (Black), BU (Blue), RD (Red), GR (Green),
YL (Yellow), OR (Orange) or VL (Violet) after
the M in the part number. For example, the part
number for a 15-meter patch cord with blue
boots is UTPCH15MBUY.
