Panduit UTP6AX1MYL 1m Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord

Panduit UTP6AX1MYL Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord

The Panduit UTP6AX1MYL is a 1-meter Cat 6A UTP patch cord engineered for 10GBASE-T Ethernet installations requiring reliable alien crosstalk mitigation and pre-installed asset tracking. Built on 24 AWG solid copper with a 0.250-inch diameter jacket, this yellow patch cord delivers 10 Gb/s performance across the full 500 MHz bandwidth while supporting IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE (up to 100W). The integrated RapidID barcode system enables automated port mapping with Panduit's RapidID software, cutting documentation time in data center moves and server virtualization deployments. The tangle-free latch design prevents snag damage during installation and simplifies MAC workflows in high-density rack environments.

The UTP6AX1MYL uses 24 AWG solid copper conductors in a U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) configuration, with internal solid foil tape that limits alien crosstalk between adjacent cables—a critical concern when running 10GBASE-T over copper in densely bundled pathways. Unlike stranded-conductor patch cords that excel in frequent flexing applications, this solid-conductor design delivers lower attenuation and tighter return loss margins across the 1–500 MHz range, making it the preferred choice for permanent or semi-permanent connections between patch panels and active equipment. The cord exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A channel requirements with margin to spare, ensuring compliance even when deployed in bundles of 50+ cables where alien crosstalk typically degrades performance. Full support for IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE means you can deliver up to 100W to powered devices—sufficient for multi-radio Wi-Fi 6E access points, PTZ cameras with heaters, or IP phones with USB charging ports—without running separate power drops.

RapidID barcodes come pre-installed on each plug, integrating directly with Panduit's RapidID port mapping software to auto-populate patch panel documentation as you scan each connection. In colocation facilities or enterprise data centers where accurate as-built records are non-negotiable, this feature cuts documentation time by 60% compared to manual spreadsheet entry and eliminates the transcription errors that lead to misrouted circuits during after-hours emergency troubleshooting. The tangle-free latch uses a low-profile boot that shields the release tab from snagging on adjacent cables when pulling cords through high-density vertical cable managers or zero-U pass-through panels; installers report 40% faster adds/moves/changes in 48-port environments compared to standard snagless boots that still catch on neighboring jacks. The 1-meter length is purpose-built for patch panel to top-of-rack switch connections where excess slack creates airflow obstructions and cable management headaches—long enough to route around horizontal managers with service loops, short enough to avoid the cable spaghetti that plagues racks using 2-meter or 3-meter jumpers as a one-size-fits-all solution.

The cord ships with UL 1863 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 listing (File E129886), meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A (formerly FCC Part 68) and IEC 60603-7 connector standards, and carries RoHS compliance for EU and California installations. The yellow jacket follows TIA-606-C color conventions for horizontal cabling identification, though many integrators repurpose it for DMZ segments, backup networks, or out-of-band management planes where visual differentiation from production blue cords prevents accidental unplugs during maintenance windows. Sold individually with a carton quantity of 10 for stock orders; the Pan-Net sub-brand designation places this cord in Panduit's premium copper tier with extended insertion-cycle ratings (750+ vs. 200 for economy cords) and tighter pair-to-pair skew tolerances that matter when chaining multiple patch cords in a single 10GBASE-T channel.
