Panduit UTP6AX13OR Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX13OR is a 13-foot 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 flammability rating, this orange cord is ideal for use in data centers and enterprise networks where alien crosstalk must be minimized. Its tangle-free latch design simplifies moves, adds, and changes, while pre-installed RapidID barcodes facilitate efficient port mapping with compatible software.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to 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 standards, ensuring compatibility with PoE++ devices. The cable construction is suitable for general-purpose horizontal cabling applications within building spaces, excluding plenums unless specifically rated. It meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A requirements and is compatible with standard RJ45 modular connectors.

Installation Notes

The cable features a solid foil tape construction to limit alien crosstalk, which is critical for maintaining 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over its 13-foot length. The integrated tangle-free latch on the modular plugs ensures secure connection and easy release, preventing snagging during installation or relocation. Ensure proper cable management practices are followed to maintain performance and prevent physical stress on the conductors and connectors.
