Panduit UTP6AX15 Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Panduit UTP6AX15 Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX15 is a 15-foot Category 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission and advanced power delivery. Its solid 24 AWG copper construction and CM flammability rating make it suitable for structured cabling deployments requiring 10GBASE-T Ethernet performance. The integrated tangle-free latch streamlines installation and maintenance, minimizing downtime during moves, adds, and changes in data center or enterprise network environments.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with all 10GBASE-T Ethernet applications up to 500 MHz. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, allowing it to reliably power devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without needing separate power supplies. It is wired for compatibility with both T568A and T568B termination schemes.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX15 features a solid foil tape to limit alien crosstalk, a critical factor for maintaining signal integrity in high-density deployments. Its tangle-free latch provides a secure connection while allowing for quick release, simplifying port mapping and cable management. The cord is constructed with a 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter, 24 AWG solid conductor, and carries a CM flammability rating, indicating its suitability for use in certain riser or general-purpose horizontal applications, but always verify local code requirements.
