Panduit UTP6AX0.5MGR Cat 6A 0.5m UTP Patch Cord Green

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX0.5MGR is a 0.5-meter Category 6A UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) patch cord designed for high-speed network deployments. Its short length is ideal for consolidating network connections in data center racks or small office spaces, minimizing cable clutter and signal degradation. Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and a CM-rated jacket, this cord supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet and is rated for PoE++ (802.3bt), ensuring reliable power delivery for connected devices. The integrated tangle-free latch simplifies installation and maintenance.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A standards, making it fully compatible with 10GBASE-T Ethernet requirements up to 500 MHz. It supports both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of network equipment, including switches, routers, servers, and IP cameras that utilize standard RJ45 connectors. The 24 AWG solid conductor gauge is optimized for fixed installations and shorter runs where performance is critical.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX0.5MGR features a tangle-free latch that prevents snagging and simplifies disconnection, reducing installation time and the risk of damage to ports or cables. Its 0.5-meter (1.6 ft) length is specifically suited for high-density patching environments like server racks, where minimizing cable slack is essential for airflow and organization. The CM flammability rating indicates suitability for use within walls in commercial buildings, adhering to safety standards.
