Panduit UTP6AX11BU 10Gig Cat 6A 11ft Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX11BU is an 11-foot, Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network infrastructure. Its solid 24 AWG conductors and construction exceeding TIA-568.2-D Cat 6A standards ensure reliable 10 Gb/s transmission, minimizing alien crosstalk for demanding applications like video surveillance backbones or data center interconnects. The tangle-free latch simplifies installation and maintenance, while the integrated RapidID barcode system streamlines network documentation and management.

Compatibility

This Cat 6A patch cord is backward compatible with Cat 6 and Cat 5e systems but is specifically engineered to meet or exceed the performance requirements for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters. It supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++ up to Type 4) power delivery standards, making it suitable for powering network devices like IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power circuits. It integrates seamlessly with Panduit's Pan-Net TX6A copper cabling system.

Installation Notes

Constructed with solid conductors, this patch cord is intended for fixed installations and not recommended for frequent flexing or dynamic applications. The CM flammability rating indicates suitability for use in riser pathways. The cable diameter is 0.250 inches (6.4mm). The integrated tangle-free latch is designed for easy, one-handed release, reducing the risk of snagging during installation or moves, adds, and changes (MACs).
