Panduit UTP6AX20YL Cat 6A 20ft Yellow Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX20YL is a 20-foot Category 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gb/s. Constructed with 24 AWG solid unshielded twisted pair cable and high-performance modular plugs, it ensures reliable connectivity for demanding network applications. Its solid foil tape construction limits alien crosstalk, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gb/s. The tangle-free latch design streamlines installation and maintenance by preventing snags and ensuring easy release, making moves, adds, and changes more efficient. This cable supports IEEE 802.3bt types 3 and 4 PoE applications, delivering power and data simultaneously.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed all ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with all 10GBASE-T Ethernet networks. It is wired to support both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, making it suitable for integration into existing or new network infrastructures. Its support for IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt PoE standards means it is compatible with a wide range of PoE-powered devices, including IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones that require higher power delivery.

Installation Notes

The cable features a tangle-free latch that simplifies connection and disconnection, preventing damage to the clip during installation and removal. Its 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter and solid conductor gauge are standard for Cat 6A patch cords. The CM flammability rating indicates it is suitable for use in general-purpose horizontal or vertical building applications, but consult local building codes for specific installation requirements.
