Panduit UTP6AX15OR Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit TX6A™ 10Gig Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord, model UTP6AX15OR, is a 15-foot orange cord designed for high-performance network infrastructure. It utilizes 24 AWG solid copper conductors within an unshielded twisted pair construction, featuring a solid foil tape to mitigate alien crosstalk and ensure reliable 10 Gb/s transmission. The integrated tangle-free latch on the RJ45 connectors simplifies moves, adds, and changes by preventing snags and ensuring a secure release. This cord is also enabled with RapidID technology, featuring pre-installed barcodes for efficient port mapping using compatible software.

Compatibility

This Cat 6A patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, making it suitable for 10GBASE-T networks. It meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A requirements and IEC 60603-7 specifications. The cord supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE++) standards, delivering power up to 100W to connected devices without compromising network performance. Its solid copper construction is ideal for fixed installations and structured cabling systems where a reliable connection is paramount.

Installation Notes

Constructed with solid copper conductors, this patch cord is intended for permanent or semi-permanent connections within racks or patch panels, not for use as a flexible horizontal cable run. The CM flammability rating indicates suitability for use in riser or general building applications. The tangle-free latch design requires a simple press to release, streamlining deployment and maintenance in dense network environments.
