Panduit UTP6AX29BL Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX29BL is a 29-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-performance network infrastructure. Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and a CM flammability rating, it ensures reliable data transmission up to 10 Gb/s. This cord is ideal for connecting network devices in environments requiring robust cable performance, such as data centers, enterprise networks, or surveillance systems where alien crosstalk is a concern. The integrated tangle-free latch simplifies handling and disconnection, streamlining moves, adds, and changes in dense rack environments.

Compatibility

This Panduit UTP6AX29BL patch cord is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and network equipment supporting Category 6A performance. It is rated for 2500 cycles with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet standards, making it suitable for powering IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled devices. It meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA specifications, ensuring interoperability with compliant network hardware.

Installation Notes

The cable features a solid foil tape construction to limit alien crosstalk, crucial for maintaining 10 Gb/s performance in high-density installations. The tangle-free latch on the modular plugs prevents snagging during installation and removal, facilitating easier cable management and reducing the risk of damage. The CM flammability rating indicates suitability for use in general-purpose horizontal or vertical riser applications within commercial buildings, but it is not rated for use directly in plenum spaces without specific local code approval.
