Panduit STP6X3MBU Cat6A Shielded Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit STP6X3MBU is a 3-meter, blue, Category 6A shielded patch cord designed for high-speed network infrastructure. Its S/FTP construction with 26 AWG stranded conductors ensures robust performance and signal integrity in demanding environments, supporting data rates up to 10 Gbps. This cable is suitable for critical network connections in data centers, enterprise networks, and industrial automation systems where reliable connectivity is paramount. The STP6X3MBU is rated for PoE/PoE+/PoE++ power delivery, making it ideal for powering network devices like IP cameras and wireless access points directly over the Ethernet cable.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring interoperability with standard RJ45 connectors and network equipment. It is compatible with any network switch, router, or device requiring Cat6A performance, including those supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+, PoE++). The T568B wiring scheme is standard for most enterprise network deployments.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 6.1 mm outside diameter and a Dual Rated (CM/LSZH) jacket, suitable for use in plenum spaces where required by local codes, offering flame retardancy and low smoke emission. The operating temperature range is -10°C to 60°C, and storage temperature ranges from -40°C to 70°C. The modular plugs are constructed from polycarbonate for durability.
