Panduit UTP6AX2.5M Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX2.5M is a 2.5-meter Category 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed data center applications. It ensures reliable 10GBASE-T Ethernet transmission by limiting alien crosstalk with its solid foil tape construction and high-performance modular plugs. The tangle-free latch streamlines moves, adds, and changes, while pre-installed RapidID barcodes simplify port mapping with compatible software. This cable is suitable for backbone aggregation, server virtualization, and parallel processing environments.

Compatibility

This Category 6A patch cord is engineered to exceed all ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards up to 500 MHz. It is wired for compatibility with both T568A and T568B schemes, making it suitable for a wide range of network infrastructure. It also supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt types 3 and 4 PoE applications, meaning it can reliably power devices like IP cameras and wireless access points without requiring separate power supplies.

Installation Notes

Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and rated CM for flammability, this patch cord is intended for in-wall or riser installations. The solid construction provides excellent performance but offers less flexibility than stranded cable, so avoid using it for patch panel to switch connections where frequent bending occurs. The integrated tangle-free latch on the modular plugs ensures secure connection and easy release, preventing accidental disconnections and damage during installation or maintenance.
