Panduit UTP6AX1.5MGR Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord

The Panduit UTP6AX1.5MGR delivers 10 Gb/s performance in a compact 1.5-meter green patch cord engineered for high-density data center and enterprise network deployments. Built with 24 AWG solid copper conductors and a 6.4mm diameter profile, this Cat 6A UTP cable combines full 10GBASE-T capability with tangle-free latches and RapidID barcode integration to streamline moves, adds, and changes in rack environments where cable management and port tracking matter.

Key Features

Cat 6A performance: exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO 11801 Class EA from 1-500 MHz

24 AWG solid copper conductors in U/UTP construction with foil tape shielding to limit alien crosstalk

Tangle-free latch design prevents snags during installation and removal

RapidID pre-installed barcodes enable fast port mapping with Panduit RapidID software

6.4mm (0.250") diameter for high-density patching in limited rack space

Supports 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 PoE (up to 90W) for powered devices

Compatible with T568A and T568B wiring schemes

CM-rated jacket for in-building horizontal and equipment cord applications

Alien crosstalk—interference between adjacent cable pairs in bundled environments—is the primary threat to 10 Gb/s reliability in unshielded patch cords. Panduit mitigates this with internal foil tape that isolates twisted pairs without the bulk of full shielding, maintaining the 6.4mm diameter critical for airflow and density in 1U and 2U switch environments. The solid 24 AWG conductors deliver lower DC resistance than stranded alternatives, improving margin on longer horizontal runs and high-power PoE links feeding PTZ cameras, access points, and IP phones. Testing to 500 MHz ensures headroom beyond the 500 MHz Class EA requirement, giving you confidence on links approaching the 100-meter permanent link limit.

Data center techs face two recurring problems: snagged latches that break during MAC operations, and mystery ports that require tone-and-trace to identify. The tangle-free latch on the UTP6AX1.5MGR uses a low-profile boot that sheds neighboring cables rather than catching, reducing broken tabs and service calls. RapidID barcodes arrive pre-printed on each cord, letting you scan both ends into Panduit RapidID software to auto-populate port maps and cable schedules—eliminating hand-drawn labels and the errors they introduce during cutovers. For PoE deployments, full 802.3bt Type 4 compliance means this cord handles 90W to the device without voltage drop concerns, critical when powering PoE lighting panels, high-power APs, or multi-radio surveillance cameras from a single Ethernet drop.

Certified to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A, ISO 11801 Class EA, and UL 1863, with RoHS compliance and compatibility with both T568A and T568B terminations. The 1.5-meter length suits equipment-to-patch-panel connections in standard rack depths, and the green jacket simplifies visual network segmentation in mixed-use installations—ideal for 10GBASE-T server links, backbone aggregation between distribution switches, and high-speed storage area network connections where color-coding prevents misrouting.
