Panduit 12FT CAT6A RED S/FT P COPPER PATCH CORD CABLE NC/NR - STP6X12RD

Panduit STP6X12RD 12FT CAT6A RED S/FT P COPPER PATCH CORD CABLE NC/NR

Overview

The Panduit STP6X12RD is a 12-foot, Category 6A (Cat6A) unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-density network environments. Its red color coding aids in visual identification for specific network segments, such as critical server connections or dedicated surveillance network runs. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters, making it suitable for demanding data center, enterprise, or industrial automation applications where bandwidth and signal integrity are paramount. The stranded copper construction offers flexibility for routing in tight spaces, while the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket reduces toxic emissions in case of fire, a critical consideration for plenum spaces or occupied areas.

Compatibility

This Cat6A patch cord is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and network devices supporting Category 6A performance standards. It is suitable for connecting servers, switches, patch panels, workstations, and other network endpoints within a structured cabling system. It is designed to meet or exceed TIA-568-C.2 and ISO 11801 standards for Cat6A cabling infrastructure, ensuring interoperability with equipment from major networking vendors.

Installation Notes

The STP6X12RD features a snagless boot design to protect the RJ45 connector tab during installation and removal, preventing accidental disconnections. The stranded conductor construction provides superior flexibility compared to solid conductors, simplifying cable management in high-density racks and conduits. Ensure proper bend radius is maintained to avoid signal degradation.
