*For lengths 3 to 20 feet (increments of one foot)
and 25, 30, 35, 40 feet change the length
designation in the part number to the desired
length. For standard cable colors other than IG
(International Gray) substitute IG with BL (Black),
BU (Blue), GR (Green), RD (Red), YL (Yellow),
OR (Orange), or VL (Violet) to the end of the part
number. For example, the part number for a blue
15-foot patch cord is STP6X15BU.
**For lengths 0.5 to 10 meters (increments of
0.5 meter) and 1.5, 2.5, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40
meters, change the length designation in the part
number to the desired length. For standard cable
colors other than IG (International Gray) substitute
IG suffix with BL (Black), BU (Blue), GR (Green),
RD (Red), YL (Yellow), OR (Orange), or VL (Violet)
to the end of the part number. For example, the
part number for a blue 15-meter patch cord is
STP6X15MBU.
^For standard colors other than BU (Blue),
replace BU (Blue) with WH (White), YL (Yellow),
or IG (International Gray).
***To designate color, add suffix WH (White),
EI (Electric Ivory), IG (International Gray),
BL (Black), BU (Blue), RD (Red), YL (Yellow),
GR (Green), OR (Orange), or VL (Violet) before
the -Q in the part number. 25/package.
^^For colors other than Red, add -BL (Black),
-BU (Blue), -GR (Green), -YL (Yellow),
-OR (Orange), -IW (International White), or
-IG (International Gray) to the end of the part
number. 10/package. Add -C for bulk packages
of 100.
