Panduit UTP6AX20MRD Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX20MRD is a 20-meter (65.6 ft) Category 6A UTP patch cord, finished in red, designed for high-speed data transmission and reliable Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery. Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and shielded with foil tape to limit alien crosstalk, this cord ensures stable 10 Gb/s performance critical for modern network infrastructure, including surveillance systems. Its tangle-free latch design simplifies moves, adds, and changes, reducing deployment time and potential damage during network reconfiguration.

Compatibility

This Category 6A patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. It is rated for 2500 mating cycles with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet standards, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones that draw significant power. The RJ45 modular plugs interface with standard network ports and equipment.

Installation Notes

The cable has a CM flammability rating, suitable for use in riser pathways. It is constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors, which offer superior performance over stranded conductors for fixed installations but are less flexible. The integrated tangle-free latch on the RJ45 connector prevents snagging and ensures a secure connection while allowing for easy release, simplifying port mapping and maintenance. The cord diameter is 0.250 inches (6.4mm).
