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

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX2.5MBL is a 2.5-meter (8.2 ft) Category 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed data center applications. It utilizes 24 AWG solid copper conductors and high-performance modular plugs to support 10GBASE-T Ethernet and IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ power delivery. Its construction is optimized to limit alien crosstalk, ensuring reliable transmission in demanding environments like server virtualization and backbone aggregation. The tangle-free latch simplifies moves, adds, and changes, streamlining network infrastructure management.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with any network device requiring Category 6A performance. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet applications, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. It is compatible with both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, offering flexibility for existing infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The cable features a solid foil tape construction to limit alien crosstalk, requiring careful handling to maintain performance integrity. The tangle-free latch design allows for quick release without snagging, simplifying installation and maintenance in dense rack environments. The CM flammability rating is suitable for general-purpose in-wall and riser applications.
