Panduit UTP6AX14MRD Cat 6A 14m Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX14MRD is a 14-meter (45.9 ft) Category 6A patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gb/s. Constructed with 24 AWG solid copper conductors and unshielded twisted pairs (U/UTP) with foil tape to limit alien crosstalk, this cord ensures reliable performance in demanding network environments. The tangle-free latch on the RJ45 connectors streamlines installation and maintenance, preventing snags during moves, adds, and changes. Its CM (Riser) flammability rating makes it suitable for in-wall applications. This specific cord, model UTP6AX14MRD, is colored red for easy identification.

Compatibility

This Cat 6A patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with all network devices requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, including high-performance switches, servers, and workstations. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 & Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE++), delivering up to 100W for powered devices without compromising data integrity. The RapidID pre-installed barcodes facilitate automated port mapping with compatible software, integrating seamlessly into structured cabling management systems.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 0.250-inch (6.4 mm) diameter with solid copper conductors, providing a robust physical connection. It is rated for 2,500 mating cycles, ensuring long-term reliability. The CM (Riser) rating indicates suitability for vertical runs between floors in commercial buildings, subject to local codes. The tangle-free latch design aids in quick and secure connection/disconnection without requiring excessive force or specialized tools.
