Panduit UTP6AX0.5MYL 0.5m Cat 6A Yellow Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX0.5MYL is a 0.5-meter (1.6 ft) Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network infrastructure. Its solid 24 AWG copper conductors and CM flammability rating make it suitable for in-wall deployments, while the tangle-free latch on its RJ45 connectors streamlines installation and maintenance by preventing snags and ensuring easy release. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes simplify port mapping and asset management within your network, reducing deployment time and potential errors.

Compatibility

This Cat 6A patch cord supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet (10 Gb/s) and operates up to 500 MHz, making it compatible with high-performance networking equipment including switches, routers, and servers requiring Category 6A connectivity. It is wired to T568A/T568B standards. Furthermore, it supports IEEE 802.3af/at and 802.3bt Type 3 & Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, capable of delivering up to 100W, ensuring compatibility with high-power PoE devices without compromising network performance.

Installation Notes

The solid 24 AWG copper conductors are best suited for fixed installations and should not be flexed repeatedly. The tangle-free latch design aids in quick disconnects but requires a firm press to disengage, preventing accidental disconnections under load. The CM rating indicates suitability for general-purpose horizontal cabling within commercial buildings, but not for use in riser or plenum spaces without further enclosure or specific building code compliance.
