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

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX2.5MBU is a 2.5-meter (8.2 ft) Category 6A UTP patch cord, constructed with 24 AWG solid CM cable and high-performance modular plugs. Designed for 10GBASE-T Ethernet, data center I/O consolidation, server virtualization, and backbone aggregation, this blue cord ensures reliable data transmission up to 500 MHz. Its solid foil tape construction limits alien crosstalk, a critical factor for maintaining signal integrity in high-speed network environments. The tangle-free latch design streamlines moves, adds, and changes, while integrated RapidID barcodes simplify port mapping with compatible software.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards. It is wired for compatibility with both T568A and T568B schemes, making it suitable for a wide range of network infrastructure. The cable supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (type 3 and type 4) Power over Ethernet (PoE++) applications, ensuring it can power and transmit data to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and IoT sensors without requiring separate power supplies.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX2.5MBU features a tangle-free latch that requires a specific release action for disconnection, preventing accidental unplugs and ensuring secure connections. The cable diameter is 0.250 inches (6.4mm). It is rated CM for flammability, suitable for riser applications. The integrated RapidID barcodes are designed for use with Panduit's RapidID software for automated network documentation.
