Panduit UTP6AX3.5MRD Cat 6A 3.5M Red Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX3.5MRD is a 3.5-meter (11.5 ft) Cat 6A U/UTP patch cord designed for high-speed network deployments. Its 24 AWG solid copper conductors and robust construction ensure reliable data transmission for 10 Gb/s applications, while the CM flammability rating suits in-wall or plenum-rated pathway installations. The integrated RapidID barcode simplifies asset tracking and port mapping within your network infrastructure, making it ideal for enterprise data centers and structured cabling systems requiring clear identification and performance.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with all Cat 6A network components. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 & 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE++) standards, delivering up to 100W of power. This makes it suitable for powering devices like high-bandwidth wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones that draw significant power. It meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A and IEC 60603-7 specifications.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 0.250-inch (6.4 mm) diameter and a tangle-free latch that prevents snags during installation or relocation, streamlining moves, adds, and changes. The solid foil tape construction suppresses alien crosstalk, a critical factor for maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gb/s. The pre-installed RapidID barcode facilitates quick port mapping and asset management when used with compatible software. Rated for 2,500 insertion cycles, it provides long-term durability.
