Panduit UTP6AX22GR Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX22GR is a 22-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed networking applications. It utilizes 24 AWG solid conductors and high-performance modular plugs to ensure 10 Gb/s transmission performance, limiting alien crosstalk with its solid foil tape construction. This cord is ideal for structured cabling deployments in data centers, enterprise networks, and industrial environments where reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity is critical. The tangle-free latch on the modular plugs streamlines installation and maintenance by preventing snags and ensuring a secure, fast release, which is beneficial for frequent moves, adds, and changes. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes simplify port mapping and asset management when used with compatible software.

Compatibility

This patch cord is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, making it compatible with all Category 6A network infrastructure. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE++) standards, ensuring it can reliably power high-demand network devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones without performance degradation. The RJ45 connectors are designed for interoperability with standard network ports on switches, servers, and patch panels.

Installation Notes

Constructed with a CM (Communications Multipurpose) flammability rating, this cable is suitable for general-purpose horizontal or riser cable runs within a building. The 24 AWG solid conductor gauge provides a balance of performance and flexibility for fixed installations. The integrated tangle-free latch on the RJ45 connectors facilitates easy insertion and removal, reducing the risk of damage to the connector or the port during installation or reconfiguration. The cord diameter is approximately 0.250 inches (6.4mm).
