Panduit UTP6AX24RD Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX24RD is a 24-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, it features high-performance modular plugs and a solid foil tape to limit alien crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity for demanding network applications. The tangle-free latch streamlines moves, adds, and changes, while pre-installed RapidID barcodes facilitate efficient port mapping with compatible software. This cord is rated CM for use in non-plenum pathways.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed all ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, making it compatible with any network infrastructure requiring Category 6A performance. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet standards, up to PoE++ Class 4, ensuring reliable power delivery to connected devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power supplies. It meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A requirements and is rated for 2500 mating cycles.

Installation Notes

The solid conductor construction of the UTP6AX24RD requires careful handling to avoid kinking. Its 24-foot length is suitable for standard rack-to-equipment connections or inter-rack patching. The CM flammability rating indicates it is suitable for use within walls and non-plenum rated spaces. The integrated tangle-free latch mechanism allows for easy disconnection without damaging the cable or connector.
