Panduit UTP6AX14BL Cat 6A Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX14BL is a 14-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gb/s. Its solid foil tape construction effectively limits alien crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity critical for demanding network environments like surveillance systems and data centers. The tangle-free latch mechanism streamlines cable management by preventing snags and facilitating quick release, which is beneficial during moves, adds, and changes. This cord is also equipped with pre-installed barcodes for use with RapidID software, simplifying port mapping and asset management.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to meet and exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with all Category 6A network infrastructure. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE++) standards, making it suitable for powering network devices such as IP cameras, access control panels, and wireless access points without requiring separate power supplies. Its high-performance modular plugs are rated for 2500 mating cycles, providing durability for frequent connections.

Installation Notes

The cable construction is CM (Communications Multipurpose) rated, suitable for use in risers and general-purpose horizontal applications within commercial buildings. The 24 AWG solid conductor gauge provides a balance of performance and flexibility for patch cord applications. Its 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter contributes to manageable cable density in racks and cabinets.
