Panduit UTP6AX26BU 10 Gb/s UTP Patch Cord

Panduit UTP6AX26BU 10 Gb/s UTP Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX26BU is a 26-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord, designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission. Its solid 24 AWG copper conductors and high-performance modular plugs limit alien crosstalk, ensuring data integrity for demanding network applications. The integrated tangle-free latch simplifies installation and removal, streamlining network infrastructure management in commercial and data center environments. This cord is rated CM for use in pathways above ceilings and under floors.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed all ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, making it suitable for Category 6A network infrastructure. It is rated for 2500 cycles with IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++) Type 3 and Type 4 power delivery, ensuring compatibility with high-power network devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and IoT sensors. The RJ45 connectors ensure broad compatibility with standard network ports.

Installation Notes

Constructed with solid 24 AWG conductors and featuring a CM flammability rating, this cable is suitable for installation in air-handling spaces above ceilings and below floors. The solid foil tape construction is key to limiting alien crosstalk, which is critical for maintaining 10 Gb/s performance over its 26-foot length. The RapidID pre-installed barcode facilitates simple port mapping with compatible RapidID software, simplifying asset tracking and network documentation.
