Panduit UTP6AX2MBL Cat 6A 2m Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX2MBL is a 2-meter, Cat 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission and advanced power delivery. It's constructed with 24 AWG solid copper conductors and a CM-rated jacket, ensuring reliable performance for 10GBASE-T Ethernet applications and supporting IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 PoE. The solid foil tape construction limits alien crosstalk, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gb/s, making it suitable for demanding data center environments like I/O consolidation, server virtualization, and high-speed computing clusters. The tangle-free latch streamlines installation and maintenance by preventing snags and ensuring a secure, yet easy, release.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards up to 500 MHz, ensuring compatibility with all 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet applications, making it suitable for powering devices like high-performance wireless access points, IP cameras, and other PoE-enabled equipment. It is wired to be compatible with both T568A and T568B termination schemes, offering broad interoperability with existing network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX2MBL features a solid foil tape construction to limit alien crosstalk, a key factor in achieving 10 Gb/s performance. Its jacket is CM-rated for use in building riser applications. The product is enabled with RapidID technology, featuring pre-installed barcodes for simple port mapping and management using compatible RapidID software, which can significantly reduce troubleshooting time and streamline moves, adds, and changes in dense network environments.
