Panduit UTP6AX2MGY 10Gig Cat 6A 2M Gray Patch Cord

Panduit UTP6AX2MGY Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord

The Panduit UTP6AX2MGY TX6A 10Gig patch cord delivers 10 Gb/s Ethernet performance in a 2-meter (6.6 ft) unshielded twisted pair cable built for high-density structured cabling deployments. Constructed with 24 AWG solid copper conductors and terminated with high-performance RJ45 modular plugs, this international gray cord supports 10GBASE-T networks, PoE++ (802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4) power delivery up to 100W, and is factory-tested to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA channel performance requirements. The 0.250-inch (6.4 mm) diameter cable incorporates solid foil tape shielding that mitigates alien crosstalk (AXT) in congested cable bundles—critical for maintaining signal integrity when running dozens of patch cords in parallel between switches and patch panels in telecom rooms, data centers, or equipment racks supporting IP cameras and NVRs.

Key Features

• 10GBASE-T certified: exceeds TIA-568.2-D Cat 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA for 10 Gb/s Ethernet to 100 meters
• Solid foil tape construction limits alien crosstalk in high-density rack environments
• PoE++ compatible: rated for IEEE 802.3af/at/bt Type 3 and Type 4 power delivery (up to 100W)
• RapidID enabled: factory-installed barcodes support port mapping and asset tracking via Panduit RapidID software
• Tangle-free latch design prevents snags during installation and ensures fast, one-handed release for moves, adds, and changes
• 24 AWG solid conductors, CM rated, RoHS compliant, rated for 2,500 mating cycles per IEC 60603-7

10 Gb/s Performance for Surveillance and Converged Networks
When your IP camera infrastructure includes 4K, multi-sensor, or AI-equipped cameras pushing 50+ Mbps per stream, or when NVRs and servers require 10GBASE-T uplinks to handle aggregate bandwidth from dozens of recording channels, standard Cat 5e and Cat 6 patch cords become bottlenecks. The UTP6AX2MGY provides 500 MHz bandwidth and is tested to support 10 Gb/s transmission across the full 100-meter channel—enough headroom to future-proof rack-to-rack connections and camera-to-PoE-switch links in enterprise surveillance, healthcare imaging, transportation hubs, and stadium deployments. The solid foil tape beneath the jacket acts as a common-mode choke, suppressing electromagnetic interference from adjacent cables and maintaining the 10GBASE-T bit error rate spec even when fifty or more patch cords share a single cable tray or vertical manager.

RapidID Asset Tracking and Tangle-Free Latch
Panduit's RapidID system laser-etches a unique barcode onto each cord during manufacturing, enabling installers to scan patch cords with a mobile device running RapidID software and automatically generate as-built documentation, port maps, and MAC logs without manual transcription errors. This is especially valuable in large installations (campus networks, colocation facilities, multi-building surveillance systems) where maintaining accurate records of which patch cord connects switch port 23 to panel port 12 prevents costly truck rolls and simplifies troubleshooting. The tangle-free latch uses a low-profile boot that flexes away from snag points but still provides positive retention; during maintenance windows when you need to swap twenty patch cords in ten minutes, the fast-release mechanism lets you disconnect with one hand while holding a flashlight or label printer in the other, cutting MAC time compared to traditional latches that require two-handed pinching or risk breaking off entirely.

PoE++ Power Budget and Compliance
This cord is rated for continuous operation with IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 (60W) and Type 4 (100W) PoE injectors and switches, making it suitable for high-power devices like PTZ cameras with heaters and wipers, multi-radio Wi-Fi 6E access points, building automation controllers, and LED lighting panels that draw more than the 30W ceiling of 802.3at PoE+. The 24 AWG solid conductors maintain DC loop resistance within spec across the 2-meter run, and the cord is UL 1863 listed with a 2,500-cycle connector durability rating—validated to survive frequent plugging and unplugging without degradation of contact resistance or return loss. Meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A (formerly FCC Part 68) for telecom interconnection and is RoHS compliant for equipment destined for EU markets or installations with environmental procurement mandates.
