Panduit UTP6AX27 Cat 6A 10G 27 ft Patch Cord

Panduit UTP6AX27 Pan-Net Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord

The Panduit UTP6AX27 is a 27-foot Cat 6A UTP patch cord engineered for 10GBASE-T installations where alien crosstalk mitigation and PoE++ power delivery matter. Built on 24 AWG solid-conductor U/UTP cable with foil tape shielding and terminated with high-performance RJ45 modular plugs, it ships with pre-installed RapidID barcodes for one-scan port mapping in enterprise and datacenter moves/adds/changes. The tangle-free latch design eliminates snags during pulls through cable trays and ladder racks, and the 0.250-inch diameter jacket balances flexibility with durability for cross-rack and above-ceiling runs.

Key Features

• 10 Gb/s transmission over Cat 6A U/UTP with foil tape alien crosstalk suppression
• 24 AWG solid copper conductors in 0.250 in (6.4 mm) diameter cable jacket for low DC resistance
• Pre-installed RapidID barcodes on plug boots for automated port documentation and asset tracking
• Tangle-free latch prevents snags in dense patch panel deployments and ensures fast release
• Rated for 2,500 mating cycles with full PoE++ support (IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4, up to 90W)
• Exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA permanent-link performance
• Off-white CM-rated jacket for general horizontal runs; UL 1863 listed and RoHS compliant

The UTP6AX27 uses unshielded twisted-pair construction (U/UTP) with solid foil tape applied over the pair bundle to limit alien crosstalk—critical when running multiple 10GBASE-T links in parallel trays or conduit. The 24 AWG solid conductors provide lower DC resistance than stranded equivalents, which matters for long PoE++ runs: at 27 feet you are well within the 328-foot channel limit, but solid conductors ensure you are not wasting millivolts on cable resistance when pushing 90W (Type 4) to a PTZ camera, access point, or PoE-powered switch. The high-performance modular plugs are rated for 2,500 insertion cycles—roughly seven years of weekly repatches—and maintain contact integrity across the full 500 MHz bandwidth that 10GBASE-T requires. The 0.250-inch outer diameter keeps the cord flexible enough for tight-radius patch panel routing without kinking, yet robust enough to survive pulls through J-hooks and wire management arms.

This cord is sized for cross-rack connections in datacenter top-of-rack switching, IDF-to-camera runs in above-ceiling installations, and desktop-to-wall-plate links in commercial office fit-outs where you need 10 Gb/s to a workstation or server. The RapidID barcodes print directly on the plug boot; when you terminate a 48-port patch panel, scan each cord with Panduit's RapidID mobile app (iOS/Android) and the port map auto-populates in your DCIM platform or asset tracker—no manual spreadsheet reconciliation, no label printers, no field mistakes. The tangle-free latch uses a low-profile boot that will not catch on adjacent cords when you pull one cable from a dense bundle, and the release tab is recessed to prevent accidental disconnects during rack work. The Off-White color matches standard telecom infrastructure and provides better visibility than black cords when tracing connections under poor lighting.

Exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA permanent-link requirements, meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A (formerly FCC Part 68) modular plug interface standards and IEC 60603-7 for international deployments. The cable carries a CM (Communications) flammability rating suitable for general horizontal runs; verify with your Authority Having Jurisdiction if running above drop ceilings used for air return, as some jurisdictions require CMP plenum-rated cable in those spaces. Critically, this cord is explicitly rated for IEEE 802.3af (15.4W PoE), 802.3at (30W PoE+), and 802.3bt Type 3 (60W PoE++) and Type 4 (90W PoE++), so you can spec it for high-power devices like Axis Q-series PTZ cameras, Cisco Catalyst 9100-series access points, or Poly VVX 601 phones without derating or wondering if the patch cord is the weak link in your power budget. Ships in cartons of 10; each cord is individually bagged. Panduit's TX6A system is backed by a 20-year warranty when installed as a complete channel.
