Panduit UTP6AX1 Cat 6A 1ft UTP Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX1 is a 1-foot Category 6A Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission and reliable Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery. Engineered with 24 AWG solid copper conductors and a CM-rated jacket, this cord supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet up to 500 MHz, making it suitable for demanding data center applications like I/O consolidation, server virtualization, and high-performance computing. The integrated RapidID barcodes simplify network infrastructure management by enabling quick port identification with compatible scanning software.

Compatibility

This patch cord is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring interoperability with other Category 6A network components. It supports both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, offering flexibility for diverse network configurations. The cord is also rated for IEEE 802.3af/at and 802.3bt Type 3 (60W) and Type 4 (90W) PoE applications, providing sufficient power for high-demand devices like wireless access points and IP cameras without requiring separate power supplies.

Installation Notes

Constructed with a tangle-free snagless latch, the RJ45 modular plugs facilitate easy insertion and removal, streamlining moves, adds, and changes in network racks. The solid copper conductors provide robust performance, but require careful handling to avoid kinking, which could compromise signal integrity. The CM flammability rating indicates suitability for use in general building riser applications.
