Panduit 3FT CAT6A BLUE S/FT P COPPER PATCH CORD CABLE NC/NR - STP6X3BU

Panduit STP6X3BU 3ft Cat6a Blue Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit STP6X3BU is a 3-foot, Category 6A (Cat6a) patch cord designed for high-speed network deployments. Its stranded copper construction and unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design make it suitable for connecting network devices within a rack or patch panel, ensuring reliable data transmission for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. This cable is ideal for environments where flexibility and ease of routing are paramount, such as data centers and enterprise network closets.

Compatibility

This Cat6a patch cord is compatible with all standard networking equipment that supports Category 6A performance, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters. It is designed to terminate into standard RJ45 connectors found on switches, routers, servers, and network interface cards. It is backward compatible with Category 6 and Category 5e networks, though performance will be limited to the lower category's specifications.

Installation Notes

The STP6X3BU features a flexible stranded conductor design, which offers superior bend radius compared to solid conductors, simplifying installation in high-density environments. The unshielded construction requires careful management to avoid electromagnetic interference (EMI) when deployed alongside power cables or in electrically noisy areas. Ensure proper cable management to maintain signal integrity and prevent physical stress on the connectors.
