Panduit UTP6AX14MBU 10Gig 14m Cat 6A Patch Cord Blue

Panduit UTP6AX14MBU Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord

The Panduit TX6A 10Gig UTP6AX14MBU delivers 10GBASE-T performance across a 14-meter run in a 0.250-inch diameter package. This Cat 6A patch cord uses 24 AWG solid copper conductors in a U/UTP construction, certified to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO 11801 Class EA requirements. Its solid foil tape shields against alien crosstalk while maintaining the flexibility needed for datacenter aisles, equipment rooms, and structured-cabling horizontal links. The tangle-free modular latch prevents snags during moves and changes, and factory-installed RapidID barcodes enable fast port mapping when paired with Panduit's RapidID software. Blue jacket simplifies visual tracing in multi-vendor environments.

Key Features

• 24 AWG solid copper conductors in U/UTP construction with foil tape shielding against alien crosstalk
• 14-meter (45.9 ft) length spans equipment racks, overhead cable trays, and horizontal runs
• Tangle-free latch design prevents snags and accelerates moves, adds, and changes
• Factory-installed RapidID barcodes for automated port mapping and documentation
• PoE++ compliant: rated for IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 & Type 4 (up to 100W)
• 2500-cycle durability rating exceeds typical patch-cord specifications
• CM flame rating for general-purpose plenum and riser installations
• Blue jacket for color-coded network segmentation

Solid-conductor patch cords are uncommon in the field—stranded copper dominates for flexibility—but Panduit's TX6A line pairs solid 24 AWG construction with enough bend tolerance for rack-to-rack and equipment-room deployments where longer lengths and lower DC resistance matter. The 14-meter span bridges distribution frames to remote cabinets without mid-run splices, reducing points of failure. Solid foil tape wraps each pair, suppressing alien crosstalk from adjacent cables in dense bundles and ensuring margin above 10GBASE-T's -45 dB alien-NEXT requirement. The 0.250-inch outer diameter threads through 1-inch conduit and cable-management fingers without binding, while the tangle-free latch withstands 2500 insertion cycles—four times the TIA minimum—making this cord suitable for test benches and frequently reconfigured racks.

The factory-installed RapidID barcode adheres to each plug boot and encodes a unique serial number. When scanned with Panduit's RapidID mobile app or handheld scanner, the software logs physical port location, switch configuration, and VLAN assignment in real time, eliminating manual spreadsheet entry and reducing port-tracing errors during audits. For integrators managing hundreds of ports across multiple IDFs, this cuts documentation overhead by 60–80%. The blue jacket follows ANSI/TIA-606-C color-coding guidelines for horizontal cabling or end-user workstations, and pairs with Panduit's Pan-Net line of keystone jacks, patch panels, and cable managers for a single-vendor structured-cabling system. PoE++ certification to 802.3bt Type 4 (100W) future-proofs installations for high-power devices like PTZ cameras, Wi-Fi 6E access points, and LED lighting controllers without rewiring.

This patch cord meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A (formerly FCC Part 68) for POTS compatibility, IEC 60603-7 for international deployments, and UL 1863 communications-cable standards. RoHS compliance ensures lead-free construction for EU and California installations. The CM flame rating satisfies NEC Article 800 for general-purpose installations; for plenum spaces, pair with CMP-rated backbone cable or specify Panduit's UTPCH-series plenum patch cords. Ships in cartons of 10; each cord is individually bagged to prevent tangling in storage. This is the cord for integrators who need 10-Gig headroom, PoE++ capacity, and automated documentation in a single-vendor ecosystem without the markup of pre-terminated fiber.
