Panduit UTP6AX1M Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord 1m

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX1M is a 1-meter Cat 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission and reliable power delivery. Constructed with 24 AWG solid copper conductors and an unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) design, this cord supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet up to 500 MHz, making it suitable for demanding data center applications like I/O consolidation, server virtualization, and high-performance computing. The integrated RapidID barcode simplifies port mapping and management in complex network environments.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring interoperability with Category 6A network infrastructure. It supports T568A and T568B wiring schemes for broad compatibility with existing network configurations. Furthermore, it is rated to support IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 & Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, delivering up to 90W of power. This makes it ideal for powering devices like wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones over the same data connection.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX1M features a tangle-free latch that prevents snags and ensures a secure, yet easy, release mechanism, streamlining installation and maintenance tasks. The solid copper construction and foil tape shielding help limit alien crosstalk, crucial for maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gbps. The CM flammability rating indicates suitability for use in general-purpose horizontal or riser applications within commercial buildings.
