Panduit UTP6AX1.5M Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord 1.5m White

Panduit UTP6AX1.5M TX6A Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord

The Panduit UTP6AX1.5M is a TX6A™ 10Gig Cat 6A UTP patch cord engineered for 10GBASE-T Ethernet deployments in data centers, backbone aggregation, and high-density server environments. At 1.5 meters (4.9 ft), this off-white cable bridges switch-to-server or patch-panel-to-switch runs where full 10 Gb/s throughput and PoE delivery are non-negotiable. Built on 24 AWG solid copper conductors with a 6.4mm U/UTP construction, it exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA specs across the full 1–500 MHz range. The tangle-free latch design and RapidID barcode integration streamline installs and change management in live racks.

• RoHS compliant, UL listed (File E129886)

The UTP6AX1.5M uses 24 AWG solid copper conductors in an unshielded twisted-pair (U/UTP) configuration, eliminating the cost and bend-radius constraints of shielded alternatives while still meeting the alien crosstalk limits required for 10GBASE-T. Solid foil tape within the cable structure isolates each pair, ensuring reliable 10 Gb/s transmission even in dense bundles where multiple cables run parallel. The 0.250-inch (6.4mm) outer diameter keeps channel fill under NEC limits, and the CM flammability rating qualifies it for horizontal cabling and non-plenum risers. Both ends terminate in high-performance RJ45 modular plugs factory-tested to exceed Category 6A insertion loss and return loss margins; the plugs support T568A and T568B wiring, so you can match existing infrastructure without rewiring patch panels. The tangle-free latch uses a low-profile boot that releases cleanly in tight spaces—no broken tabs or stuck cables during MACs.

Data-center integrators deploy the UTP6AX1.5M for top-of-rack switch-to-server links, patch-panel cross-connects, and backbone aggregation where 10 Gb/s is baseline and PoE++ power delivery (up to 90W per 802.3bt Type 4) runs over the same cable. The 1.5-meter length fits standard 42U racks with vertical or horizontal cable management, keeping service loops tight and airflow paths clear. RapidID barcodes are pre-printed on each cable, so technicians scan during install and the port map auto-populates in RapidID software—eliminating manual spreadsheet updates and toner-probe troubleshooting. In virtualized environments where every port matters, the solid conductor construction delivers lower DC resistance than stranded alternatives, improving PoE voltage drop and ensuring remote devices stay powered under full 10GbE load. The off-white jacket matches standard rack aesthetics and reveals dirt or damage during audits.

Performance testing confirms the UTP6AX1.5M exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA requirements across all frequencies from 1 to 500 MHz, with headroom for alien crosstalk (ANEXT and AFEXT) in six-around-one bundle configurations. UL 1863 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 listings (File E129886) plus IEC 60603-7 and ANSI/TIA-1096-A compliance confirm plug durability and contact-resistance specs that survive thousands of mating cycles. The cable ships 10 per carton with individual packaging, simplifying inventory control and field staging for multi-floor rollouts. For integrators managing 10GbE migrations or PoE++ access-control deployments, the UTP6AX1.5M delivers certified performance, barcode-assisted documentation, and snag-free handling in a single SKU.
