Panduit UTP6AX14VL Patch Cord

Panduit UTP6AX14VL Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX14VL is a 14-foot Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data networks. Its solid 24 AWG conductors and CM flammability rating make it suitable for structured cabling deployments requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. The violet color aids in visual identification for network segmentation or specific cable types. This cord is engineered to limit alien crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity for demanding applications.

Compatibility

This Cat 6A patch cord is backward compatible with Cat 6 and Cat 5e systems but is specifically designed to meet or exceed the requirements of ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards for 10 Gb/s transmission. It is compatible with network devices utilizing standard RJ45 modular plugs, including switches, routers, servers, and workstations. The cable construction supports IEEE 802.3af/at/bt (PoE++) power delivery, ensuring it can power compatible network devices without degradation of data performance.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX14VL features a tangle-free latch on its RJ45 connectors, designed to prevent snags during installation and removal, streamlining moves, adds, and changes. The solid conductor construction means this cable is best suited for fixed installations rather than frequent flexing. It is rated for 2500 mating cycles, providing durability for standard enterprise and data center environments.
