Panduit UTP6AX12MRD Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX12MRD is a 12-meter (39.4 ft) Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gb/s. Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and a CM-rated jacket, this red cord is suitable for horizontal cabling runs in commercial buildings where plenum-rated cable is not required. Its construction minimizes alien crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity for demanding network applications, including Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 802.3bt Type 4.

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 equipment. It supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++) standards, making it suitable for powering network devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. The high-performance modular plugs are rated for 2500 mating cycles, supporting frequent moves, adds, and changes in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX12MRD features a tangle-free latch on its RJ45 connectors, which prevents snagging during installation and simplifies disconnection. The cable's solid foil tape construction is critical for limiting alien crosstalk, a key factor in achieving 10 Gb/s performance over copper. The cord is also equipped with pre-installed RapidID barcodes for straightforward port mapping and identification within your network infrastructure using compatible RapidID software.
