Panduit STP6X10RD Cat 6A S/FTP Patch Cord 10ft Red

Overview

The Panduit STP6X10RD is a 10-foot, red Cat 6A S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) patch cord designed for high-density network environments where reliable data transmission and power delivery are critical. Constructed with 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and shielded modular RJ45 plugs, this cord exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A standards, supporting bandwidth up to 500 MHz for demanding applications like stacking switches, aggregating Gigabit Ethernet, and streaming video. Its CM/LSZH rating ensures compliance with flammability and low-smoke standards. The integrated tangle-free latch simplifies installation and maintenance, while the slender strain relief boot allows for easier access in crowded racks.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered for use with network infrastructure components requiring Cat 6A performance. It is suitable for switch-to-switch links, aggregation of Gigabit Ethernet channels, and applications demanding high bandwidth and low latency. The shielded connectors ensure signal integrity in environments prone to electromagnetic interference. It supports IEEE 802.3af/at/bt Type 3 & Type 4 (PoE++) up to 100W, making it compatible with high-power PoE devices.

Installation Notes

The STP6X10RD features a tangle-free latch that requires a simple press to release, streamlining moves, adds, and changes. The slender strain relief boot is designed for easy access in high-density applications. Pre-installed RapidID barcode labels facilitate simple port mapping using compatible RapidID software, reducing configuration time and errors.
