Panduit UTP6AX2YL Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX2YL is a 2-foot, Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed networking applications. Its solid 24 AWG conductors and high-performance modular plugs ensure reliable 10GBASE-T Ethernet transmission up to 500 MHz, making it suitable for data center I/O consolidation, server virtualization, and backbone aggregation. The integrated tangle-free latch streamlines installation and maintenance, simplifying moves, adds, and changes in busy network environments.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, guaranteeing performance for 10 Gb/s networks. It supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt types 3 and 4 (PoE++), ensuring it can power demanding network devices without requiring separate power supplies. It is wired for compatibility with both T568A and T568B termination schemes, offering broad interoperability with existing network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Constructed with a CM flammability rating, this cable is suitable for use in pathways and spaces requiring limited smoke and flame spread. The solid conductor construction provides superior performance and alien crosstalk limitation compared to stranded conductors, but requires careful handling to avoid kinking. The tangle-free latch design simplifies disconnection in dense rack environments.
