Panduit UTP6AX26BL 10G Cat 6A 26ft Patch Cord
Overview
The Panduit UTP6AX26BL is a 26-foot, Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data networks. Constructed with 24 AWG solid copper conductors and a CM flammability rating, this cable supports 10 Gb/s transmission speeds, making it suitable for demanding enterprise and data center environments. The tangle-free latch design streamlines installation and maintenance by preventing snags and ensuring easy connector release during moves, adds, or changes. Pre-installed with RapidID barcodes, it facilitates quick and accurate port mapping with compatible software.
Compatibility
This Cat 6A patch cord is engineered to meet or exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring interoperability with standard RJ45 connectors and equipment. It is rated for 2500 mating cycles, providing robust performance for frequent connections. The cable also supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet, making it compatible with high-power PoE devices without compromising data integrity.
Installation Notes
The cable features a 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter and a solid conductor construction. The CM rating indicates suitability for use in general-purpose horizontal or vertical building cable runs. The tangle-free latch mechanism requires a simple press to release, avoiding the need for specialized tools for disconnection.
