EPDs rely on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)to provide information on a number of environmental impacts of products over their life cycle. Exclusions: EPDs do not indicate that any environmental orsocial performance benchmarks are met, and there may be impacts that they do not encompass. LCAs do not typically address the site-specificenvironmental impacts of raw material extraction, nor are they meant to assess human health toxicity. EPDs can complement but cannot replace tools andcertifications that are designed to address these impacts and/or set performance thresholds – e.g. Type 1 certifications, health assessments anddeclarations, environmental impact assessments, etc.Accuracy of Results: EPDs regularly rely on estimations of impacts, and the level of accuracy in estimation of effect differs for any particular product line andreported impact. Comparability: EPDs are not comparative assertions and are either not comparable or have limited comparability when they cover differentlife cycle stages, are based on different product category rules or are missing relevant environmental impacts. EPDs from different programs may not becomparable.Category 6A Patch CordsPanduit CorporationPage 2 / 15

Product Flow DiagramSoftware And DatabaseLCA Software:Sphera LCA for Experts (formerly GaBi) v. 10.9LCI Foreground Database(s):Sphera Managed LCA Content (formerly GaBi Professional Database) v.LCI Background Database(s):Sphera Managed LCA Content (formerly GaBi Professional Database) v.A foreground LCI database is the database used to model the primary, site-specific data collected for this EPD. A background LCI database is the databaseused to model generic or non-specific data.Data QualityPrimary data were collected for every process in the product system under the control of Panduit. Secondary data from the LCA Managed Content, DKI/ECI,WorldSteel, and PlasticsEurope databases were utilized when necessary. These data were evaluated and have temporal, geographic, and technicalcoverage appropriate to the scope of the product category.The data sources used are complete and representative of global systems in terms of the geographic and technological coverage and are a recent vintage(i.e. less than ten years old). The data used for primary data are based on direct information sources of the manufacturers and suppliers. Secondary dataCategory 6A Patch CordsPanduit CorporationPage 6 / 15

sets were used for raw materials extraction and processing, end of life, transportation, and energy production flows. Wherever secondary data is used, thestudy adopts critically reviewed data for consistency, precision, and reproducibility to limit uncertainty.Life Cycle Module DescriptionThe primary manufacturing processes occur in multiple locations across North America, Europe, and Asia. All manufacturing sites that produce the cablesthat are included in this EPD product grouping are included in this scope.Copper wire goes through two drawing processes with an immediate subsequent annealing process. The wire continues down the line to an extruder wherethe insulation material is applied to the wire. Cooling and drying of the insulated wire then occurs. Insulated wires are then twinned together around eachother. Twinned wire pairs, along with other cable components such as separator tape and/or shielding material, are then bunched together. Subsequently,the bunched wire has a jacket extruded around the bunched cable. After the jacket is applied, the cable is cooled and packaged. Various packaging optionsexist, but most products are shipped in spools and/or boxes.LCA DiscussionAllocation ProcedureThe LCI data was collected from the Panduit manufacturing facilities for the 2024 calendar year. Allocation was determined on a per meter basis for primarydata. For secondary data, cut-off methodology was used.Cut-off ProcedureProcesses whose total contribution to the final result, with respect to their mass and in relation to all considered impact categories, is less than 1% can beneglected.The sum of the neglected processes may not exceed 5% by mass of the considered impact categories. For that a documented assumption is admissible.For Hazardous Substances the following requirements apply:• The Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) of hazardous substances will be included, if the inventory is available.• If the LCI for a hazardous substance is not available, the substance will appear as an input in the LCI of the product, if its mass represents more than 0.1%of theproduct composition.• If the LCI of a hazardous substance is approximated by modeling another substance, documentation will be provided.This EPD is in compliance with the cut-off criteria. No processes were neglected or excluded. Capital items for the production processes (machine, buildings,etc.) werenot taken into consideration.Renewable ElectricityEnergy Attribute Certificates (EACs) such asRenewable Energy Certificates (RECs) or PowerPurchase Agreements (PPAs) are included in thebaseline reported results:NoCategory 6A Patch CordsPanduit CorporationPage 7 / 15

Energy consumed during use correlates to power losses due to resistivity of the products. Electricity consumption was calculated based on thepower consumption values provided in Table 1 of the PSR.Further assumptions for scenario development:The use phase of this study leverages the system boundary as described in Section 3.2 of the PSR, which details that Module B7 is not applicable and sothe module is equal to zero.End of Life (C1 - C4)C1 - C4 ModulesAssumptions for scenario development:The end-of-life scenario was modeled based on the assumptions provided in Appendix D within the PCR. Therefore, the study assumes 50% of all plasticmaterials (except polypropylene which is 40%) are sent to incineration, and all remaining plastic materials are sent to landfill. 30% of any aluminummaterials are sent to landfill, and the remaining aluminum is recycled. Furthermore, 40% of any copper materials are sent to landfill, and the remainingcopper materials are recycled. Finally, 1,000km is the distance assumed that all waste travel via truck before reaching its final disposal destination.Reuse, Recovery and / or Recycling Potentials & Relevant Scenario Information (D)D ModuleFurther assumptions for scenario development:For this study, energy recovery from plastic materials is calculated using the percentages of anyplastic (and any polypropylene) materials that were sent to incineration. Additionally, anyrecycled materials are modeled as a net benefit with recycling potential. The percentages forincineration and recycling are based on the values in Appendix D of the PCR.Category 6A Patch CordsPanduit CorporationPage 9 / 15

EPDs are not comparativeassertions and are either not comparable or have limited comparability when they have different system boundaries. EPDs are not comparative assertions and are either not comparable or have limitedcomparability when they have different system boundaries, are based on different product category rules or are missing relevant environmental impacts.

InterpretationWhen evaluating the TRACI 2.2 impact categories specifically, the production (A1-A3) stage has the greatest contribution to environmental impacts acrossall impact categories, emphasizing that material efficiency and energy use reduction strategies are where primary improvement strategies can be applied. Itis noteworthy that Module D, shown as negative impacts, demonstrates the potential benefits of recovery at the product’s end of life, which can come fromrecycling the metals contained within this product.0%20%40%60%80%100%GWP-Total (ExclBiogenic)TRACI 2.2GWP-Total (InclBiogenic)TRACI 2.2ODPTRACI 2.2APTRACI 2.2EP-FreshwaterTRACI 2.2EP-MarineTRACI 2.2POCPTRACI 2.2HTP-CTRACI 2.2HTP-NcTRACI 2.2ETP-FwTRACI 2.2PMTRACI 2.2ODPCML 2016 V4.8APCML 2016 V4.8EPCML 2016 V4.8POCPCML 2016 V4.8ADP-FossilCML 2016 V4.8ADP-Minerals&MetalsCML 2016 V4.8GWP- TotalEF3.1GWP- FossilEF3.1GWP-BiogenicEF3.1GWP-LulucEF3.1ODPEF3.1APEF3.1PMEF3.1Category 6A Patch CordsPanduit CorporationPage 14 / 15
