Panduit UTP6AX10MGY Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX10MGY is a 10-meter (32.8 ft) Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network deployments. Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and featuring high-performance modular plugs, this cord is built to limit alien crosstalk, a critical factor for achieving reliable 10 Gb/s transmission over copper infrastructure. The integrated tangle-free latch simplifies moves, adds, and changes by preventing snags and ensuring a quick, secure release, streamlining network maintenance in data centers or structured cabling environments.

Compatibility

This Category 6A patch cord meets or exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, making it compatible with all 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. It is rated for 2500 cycles with IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++ Type 3 and Type 4) power delivery standards, ensuring it can reliably support powered devices without performance degradation. This makes it suitable for connecting network switches, servers, workstations, and other network-enabled equipment requiring high bandwidth and stable power sourcing.

Installation Notes

The cable features a CM (Communications Multipurpose) flammability rating, suitable for use in riser pathways. Its solid conductor construction provides excellent performance but is less flexible than stranded cable, making it best suited for permanent or semi-permanent installations where the cable will not be frequently moved or bent sharply. The unique tangle-free latch design simplifies disconnection and reduces the risk of damage to the plug or surrounding equipment during network changes.
