Panduit UTP6AX26VL Category 6A Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX26VL is a 26-foot Category 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gb/s. Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and featuring a violet jacket, this cord is engineered to limit alien crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity in demanding network environments. The integrated tangle-free latch simplifies handling during installations and maintenance, streamlining moves, adds, and changes. Its solid foil tape construction provides superior performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications.

Compatibility

This Category 6A patch cord is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, making it suitable for a wide range of network infrastructure. It is rated for 2500 cycles with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) power delivery, ensuring compatibility with PoE++ devices that require higher power budgets. The integrated RapidID barcode facilitates simple port mapping with compatible software, simplifying network management.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket carries a CM flammability rating, suitable for use in general-purpose riser applications. The solid conductor construction requires careful handling to avoid kinks or damage. The tangle-free latch provides a secure connection while allowing for straightforward release without requiring special tools. This patch cord supports up to 2500 mating cycles, indicating robust mechanical durability for frequent connections and disconnections.
