Panduit UTP6AX11YL Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX11YL is an 11-foot Category 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gb/s. Its solid foil tape construction effectively limits alien crosstalk, a critical factor for maintaining signal integrity in demanding network environments like data centers and enterprise networks running 10GBASE-T. The integrated tangle-free latch streamlines installation and maintenance by preventing snags and ensuring easy, fast disconnection, which is vital for efficient moves, adds, and changes (MACs) in structured cabling systems.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with all Category 6A network infrastructure. It is rated for 2500 cycles with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without signal degradation. The RJ45 modular plugs are designed for standard network ports.

Installation Notes

Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and a CM flammability rating, this cable is suitable for use in pathways and spaces requiring CM-rated cable. The cable diameter is 0.250 inches (6.4mm). The integrated tangle-free latch mechanism requires a simple push to release, simplifying port access and reducing the risk of damage to the plug or port during disconnection. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes facilitate simple port mapping and network documentation using compatible RapidID software, enhancing asset management and troubleshooting workflows.
