Panduit UTP6AX1VL 10 Gb/s UTP Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX1VL is a 1-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network infrastructure. This violet cord utilizes 24 AWG solid conductors and a CM flammability rating, making it suitable for in-wall or plenum spaces where code compliance is required. Its construction is engineered to limit alien crosstalk, ensuring reliable 10 Gb/s transmission performance critical for demanding data center and enterprise environments. The integrated tangle-free latch on the RJ45 modular plugs simplifies installation and maintenance by preventing snags and allowing for quick release, which streamlines moves, adds, and changes within your network rack.

Compatibility

This Panduit patch cord is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with all Category 6A networking equipment. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE++) standards, drawing power without compromising data integrity. The cable is rated for 2500 cycles with these PoE standards, providing robust power delivery capabilities for connected devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. It is also compliant with ANSI/TIA-1096-A (formerly FCC Part 68) and IEC 60603-7 requirements.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX1VL features a solid foil tape construction to mitigate alien crosstalk, a common issue in high-density deployments that can degrade 10 Gb/s performance. The tangle-free latch design on the modular plugs aids in installation by allowing for single-handed connection and disconnection, reducing the risk of damaging the cable or connector during moves, adds, or changes. Pre-installed barcodes for RapidID software facilitate simple port mapping and asset management within your network infrastructure.
