Panduit UTP6AX13 Category 6A Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX13 is a 13-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network deployments. It features 24 AWG solid conductors and high-performance modular plugs, ensuring reliable transmission for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The solid foil tape construction effectively limits alien crosstalk, a critical factor for maintaining signal integrity in demanding network environments. This cord is ideal for structured cabling systems where performance and future-proofing are paramount, supporting moves, adds, and changes with its tangle-free latch design for quick release.

Compatibility

This UTP6AX13 patch cord is engineered to meet or exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards. 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. The cord's RJ45 modular plugs are compatible with standard Cat 6A and Cat 7 keystone jacks and patch panels, ensuring broad compatibility within Panduit's Pan-Net® copper systems and other compliant network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The cable diameter is approximately 0.250 inches (6.4mm). The CM flammability rating indicates suitability for use in riser or general-purpose horizontal applications within commercial buildings. The tangle-free latch mechanism on the modular plugs simplifies disconnection and prevents damage during network reconfiguration. Pre-installed barcodes facilitate port mapping when used with Panduit's RapidID software, streamlining network management and troubleshooting.
