Panduit UTP6AX24BU Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Panduit UTP6AX24BU Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX24BU is a 24-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission. This blue cord utilizes 24 AWG solid conductors and high-performance modular plugs, featuring a solid foil tape construction to effectively limit alien crosstalk, a critical factor for maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gb/s speeds. Its tangle-free latch simplifies moves, adds, and changes by preventing snags and allowing for a quick release. The integrated pre-installed barcode supports RapidID software for efficient port mapping in structured cabling systems.

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 network infrastructure requiring 10 Gb/s performance. It is rated for 2500 cycles with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards, making it suitable for powering high-demand network devices like Wi-Fi 6 access points or advanced IP cameras that draw significant power. It meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A requirements and IEC 60603-7 specifications.

Installation Notes

Constructed with a CM flammability rating, this cable is suitable for use in riser pathways. The solid conductor design offers superior performance for fixed installations but is less flexible than stranded conductors, making it best suited for patch panel to equipment connections rather than dynamic flexing applications. The integrated barcode facilitates quick identification and documentation within a cabling infrastructure managed by Panduit's RapidID system.
