Panduit UTP6AX16GY Cat 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Panduit UTP6AX16GY Cat 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX16GY is a 16-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission and network infrastructure deployments. Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and high-performance modular plugs, this cord limits alien crosstalk to ensure reliable 10 Gb/s performance, making it suitable for demanding network environments like data centers or enterprise backbones where data integrity is critical. The tangle-free latch simplifies connection and disconnection processes.

Compatibility

This Category 6A patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. It is rated for 2500 mating cycles with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards, supporting devices requiring up to PoE++ power levels without signal degradation. It meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A and IEC 60603-7 specifications.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX16GY features a 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter cable and a CM flammability rating, suitable for use in riser pathways. Its solid foil tape construction and high-performance modular plugs are designed for durability and performance. The integrated tangle-free latch allows for quick release, streamlining installation and maintenance tasks in dense rack environments.
