Panduit UTP6AX0.5MGY 10Gig Cat 6A 0.5M Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX0.5MGY is a 0.5-meter, 24 AWG, Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network infrastructure. Its solid copper conductors and robust construction ensure reliable 10 Gb/s performance, supporting critical data transmission in environments requiring precise port mapping via the integrated RapidID barcode. This cord is ideal for structured cabling deployments where performance and manageability are paramount.

Compatibility

This Cat 6A patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring interoperability with network equipment supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and backward compatibility with lower speed standards. It supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++ Type 3 & 4) power delivery standards, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power supplies.

Installation Notes

Constructed with solid 24 AWG copper conductors, this cord is intended for fixed or semi-fixed installations within racks and patch panels. The tangle-free latch on the RJ45 connectors prevents snagging during installation and simplifies disconnection, while the CM flammability rating meets communications cable requirements. The pre-installed RapidID barcode facilitates quick identification and mapping within a network infrastructure management system.
