Panduit UTP6AX0.5MVL Patch Cord

Panduit UTP6AX0.5MVL Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX0.5MVL is a 0.5-meter violet Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission. It utilizes 24 AWG solid conductors and high-performance modular plugs to ensure reliable connectivity in demanding network environments. This cord is engineered to limit alien crosstalk, a critical factor for maintaining 10 Gb/s performance over its specified length. The tangle-free latch on the RJ45 connector simplifies installation and removal, streamlining network infrastructure management, especially in dense rack environments. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes facilitate easy port mapping with compatible software.

Compatibility

This patch cord is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, making it suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet deployments. It is rated for 2500 cycles with IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++) Type 3 and Type 4 power delivery standards, ensuring compatibility with powered devices and network switches that deliver high power over Ethernet. It meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A requirements, ensuring interoperability with standard RJ45 interfaces.

Installation Notes

Constructed with solid CM-rated cable, this patch cord is suitable for in-wall and horizontal cabling applications where a CM flammability rating is required. The 0.5-meter length is ideal for short runs within server racks or between network equipment and patch panels, minimizing cable clutter and signal degradation. The solid foil tape construction aids in alien crosstalk mitigation, a key consideration for Category 6A performance.
