Panduit UTP6AX2.5MYL Cat 6A 2.5m Yellow Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX2.5MYL is a 2.5-meter (8.2 ft) Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper patch cord, finished in yellow. This cord is engineered for 10GBASE-T Ethernet applications and supports high-speed data center infrastructure, including server virtualization and backbone aggregation. Its solid construction and unique tangle-free latch design simplify network management and ensure reliable connections for moves, adds, and changes. Enabled with RapidID, it features pre-installed barcodes for straightforward port mapping with compatible software.

Compatibility

This Panduit Cat 6A patch cord is designed to meet or exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with all 10GBASE-T Ethernet networks operating at frequencies up to 500 MHz. It supports IEEE 802.3af/802.3at and 802.3bt types 3 and 4 PoE applications, making it suitable for powering network devices like IP cameras or wireless access points directly over the Ethernet cable without requiring separate power supplies. It is wired for compatibility with both T568A and T568B termination schemes.

Installation Notes

Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors, this CM-rated cable is suitable for use in pathways and spaces between floors or walls. The solid foil tape construction helps limit alien crosstalk, a critical factor for maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gb/s. The integrated tangle-free latch on the modular plug prevents snags during installation and removal, simplifying network infrastructure adjustments. RapidID barcodes are pre-installed for efficient network documentation and management.
