Panduit UTP6AX19RD TX6A 10Gig Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord, 19 ft, Red
The Panduit UTP6AX19RD delivers 10GBASE-T performance in a compact 0.250" diameter Cat 6A patch cord designed for high-density rack environments. Built with 24 AWG solid conductors and solid foil tape shielding, this 19-foot red cord mitigates alien crosstalk while maintaining flexibility for cross-rack or in-row connections in enterprise datacenters, server rooms, and structured cabling deployments. The TX6A modular plugs feature tangle-free latches and pre-installed RapidID barcodes, streamlining MAC workflows and eliminating the snags that slow deployment in cable-congested pathways.
Key Features
- Cat 6A UTP construction with solid foil tape for alien crosstalk suppression, ensuring 10 Gb/s transmission per TIA-568.2-D and ISO 11801 Class EA
- 0.250" (6.4mm) diameter enables high-density bundling in crowded patch panels and cable managers without airflow restriction
- 24 AWG solid conductors provide consistent impedance and lower insertion loss compared to stranded alternatives in permanent-link extensions
- Tangle-free modular plug latch design prevents snags during pulls through cable trays and J-hooks, rated for 2500 mating cycles
- Pre-installed RapidID barcodes enable automated port mapping and cable tracing with Panduit's RapidID software, eliminating manual documentation errors
- 19-foot length spans cross-rack connections, in-row cooling units, and top-of-rack to mid-rack server links without excess slack
- IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 PoE++ rated, delivering up to 90W for high-power access points, PTZ cameras, and building automation controllers
- CM-rated jacket meets NEC Article 800 requirements for general-purpose horizontal installation in commercial spaces
The UTP6AX19RD's 24 AWG solid conductor construction is an engineering choice for installers bridging structured cabling permanent links with active equipment. Unlike stranded patch cords optimized for desktop flexibility, this solid-conductor design maintains the electrical characteristics of the permanent link, reducing return loss and NEXT at the consolidation point. The solid foil tape wraps each twisted pair individually, creating a barrier against alien crosstalk from adjacent Cat 6A cables—a critical mitigation in 10GBASE-T deployments where 40+ cables share a single vertical manager. At 0.250" diameter, the cord occupies 35% less cross-sectional area than standard 0.290" Cat 6A cables, allowing integrators to maintain the 40% fill ratio mandated by NEC 300.17 in 4" communication pathways without derating.
RapidID barcoding transforms cable management from a documentation liability into an auditable asset. Each cord ships with a serialized barcode printed on both ends, enabling scan-to-document workflows during installation and scan-to-trace troubleshooting during Tier 2 support escalations. The tangle-free latch eliminates the boot-snag failure mode that creates service loops in dense patch fields—press the latch body and the plug releases cleanly, even when surrounded by 47 other cables in a 1U panel. PoE++ Type 4 rating (90W per IEEE 802.3bt) handles the full power budget of Cisco 9130AXI access points, Axis Q6135-LE PTZ cameras, and building automation gateways without voltage drop concerns over the 19-foot run. This length is purpose-built for three deployment contexts: cross-rack links in 42U cabinets with 36" aisle spacing, in-row cooling unit connections 15 feet from the CDU, and top-of-rack switch downlinks to mid-rack blade servers at 18U.
Compliance extends beyond TIA-568.2-D to include ANSI/TIA-1096-A (modular plug performance), IEC 60603-7 (international connector interface), and UL 1863 (communications cable safety). The 2500-cycle rating exceeds the 750-cycle TIA minimum by 233%, providing margin for re-patching in dynamic environments like colocation facilities and managed service provider edge racks. Red jacket color-coding supports TIA-606-C cable administration standards for equipment connections, distinguishing horizontal patch cords from backbone trunks (orange) and VoIP endpoints (yellow). For datacenters running 10GBASE-T to the server, AV integrators linking 4K video distribution racks, or enterprises deploying PoE++ access layers, the UTP6AX19RD combines the electrical performance of structured cabling components with the operational efficiency of pre-terminated, barcode-enabled infrastructure.
