Panduit UTP6AX19OR Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX19OR is a 19-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gb/s. Constructed with solid 24 AWG conductors and featuring a CM flammability rating, this orange cable is suitable for use in riser pathways and plenum spaces where fire safety is a concern. Its solid foil tape construction effectively limits alien crosstalk, a critical factor for maintaining signal integrity in demanding 10 Gigabit Ethernet deployments. The tangle-free latch mechanism on the RJ45 modular plugs streamlines installation and maintenance by preventing snags and ensuring easy disconnection, which is vital for efficient moves, adds, and changes in structured cabling systems. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes simplify port mapping and network management when used with compatible software.

Compatibility

This Category 6A patch cord is engineered to exceed all ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of network equipment. It is rated for 2500 cycles with IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++) Type 3 and Type 4 power delivery standards, making it suitable for connecting devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones that require significant power over Ethernet. It meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A requirements and IEC 60603-7 specifications.

Installation Notes

The cable features a solid conductor construction (24 AWG), which offers superior performance and alien crosstalk reduction compared to stranded conductors but is less flexible. It has a 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter and a CM (Communications Multipurpose) flammability rating, suitable for riser applications. The integrated tangle-free latch on the modular plugs simplifies insertion and removal, preventing accidental disengagement and damage to the connector or port.
