Panduit UTP6AX10M Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Panduit UTP6AX10M Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX10M is a 10-meter (32.8 ft) Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for 10GBASE-T Ethernet deployments. Its solid 24 AWG conductors and CM flammability rating make it suitable for in-wall and riser applications within commercial environments. The integrated tangle-free latch simplifies moves, adds, and changes by preventing snags during installation and removal.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards up to 500 MHz, ensuring compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, delivering sufficient power for connected devices without signal degradation. The cord is wired to support both T568A and T568B termination schemes.

Installation Notes

The Panduit UTP6AX10M features high-performance modular plugs and a solid foil tape construction to limit alien crosstalk, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gb/s. Its tangle-free latch design streamlines installation and maintenance by allowing for quick, snag-free disconnection. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes facilitate port mapping and network management when used with compatible RapidID software.
