Panduit UTP6AX22BU Cat 6A Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX22BU is a 22-foot, blue, Cat 6A Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cord. Constructed with 24 AWG solid copper conductors and CM rated cable, it is engineered to support 10 Gb/s transmission speeds, minimizing alien crosstalk with its solid foil tape. The integrated tangle-free latch on the RJ45 modular plugs simplifies deployment by preventing snags and ensuring easy release, which is critical for efficient moves, adds, and changes in network infrastructure. This cord is also equipped with RapidID pre-installed barcodes for simplified network mapping and management when used with compatible RapidID software.

Compatibility

This Cat 6A patch cord is designed to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with high-speed networking equipment and infrastructure. It supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt Type 3 & Type 4 (PoE++) standards, making it suitable for powering network devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones that draw significant power. It meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A and IEC 60603-7 requirements.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX22BU is rated for 2,500 insertion cycles, providing durability for frequent connections and disconnections. The CM (Communications) flammability rating indicates its suitability for use within building riser pathways. The solid copper conductors are best suited for fixed installations rather than frequent flexing or movement, which could fatigue the solid core.
