Panduit UTP6AX1BU 1ft Blue Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX1BU is a 1-foot blue Cat 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed network deployments. It utilizes 24 AWG solid copper conductors and is constructed with U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable, featuring a solid foil tape that limits alien crosstalk to ensure reliable 10 Gb/s transmission. The tangle-free latch on the RJ45 modular plugs streamlines installation and maintenance, making it suitable for data center I/O consolidation, server virtualization, and backbone aggregation.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, guaranteeing performance for 10GBASE-T Ethernet applications. It is compatible with systems wired to both T568A and T568B schemes. The cable supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet (PoE++) applications, delivering up to 90W without compromising data integrity. Its design is optimized for high-speed computing and data center environments.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX1BU features pre-installed RapidID barcodes for simple port mapping when used with RapidID software, facilitating efficient network management. The cable has an outer diameter of 0.250 inches (6.4 mm) and a CM flammability rating, suitable for use in riser pathways. The tangle-free latch design prevents snagging during installation and removal, simplifying moves, adds, and changes in dense rack environments.
