Panduit UTP6AX26YL Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX26YL is a 26-foot Cat 6A Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network deployments requiring robust data transmission and power delivery. Constructed with 24 AWG solid copper conductors and a CM flammability rating, this cable ensures reliable performance for 10GBASE-T applications up to 10 Gb/s. The integrated tangle-free latch simplifies installation and maintenance by preventing snags during moves, adds, or changes, while the pre-installed RapidID barcode streamlines cable management and port mapping.

Compatibility

This Cat 6A patch cord is engineered to support all ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, guaranteeing performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. It is compatible with network devices requiring Cat 6A connectivity, including switches, servers, and workstations. The cable also supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++ up to 90W) power delivery standards, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The solid conductor construction of the UTP6AX26YL requires careful handling to avoid kinking, which can degrade performance. While it supports 2500 mating cycles, ensuring proper connection and disconnection technique will maximize its lifespan. The integrated tangle-free latch design aids in rapid and secure disconnection. The yellow color aids in visual identification within structured cabling systems.
