Panduit UTP6AX30 Category 6A Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX30 is a 30-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission. Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and a solid foil tape shield to minimize alien crosstalk, this cord is engineered to support 10GBASE-T Ethernet and other demanding data center applications like server virtualization and backbone aggregation. Its solid construction ensures reliable performance for critical network infrastructure. The UTP6AX30 also supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ applications, delivering power and data over a single cable without thermal issues.

Compatibility

This Panduit patch cord is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with all Category 6A network infrastructure. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt type 3 and type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and other network endpoints that require higher power budgets. It is wired to be compatible with both T568A and T568B termination schemes, offering flexibility in deployment.

Installation Notes

Featuring a tangle-free latch, the UTP6AX30 facilitates easy disconnection and re-connection, streamlining network maintenance, moves, adds, and changes. The cord has a nominal diameter of 0.250 inches (6.4mm) and is rated CM for use in pathways that require a Communications Multipurpose cable rating. The integrated RapidID barcodes allow for quick port mapping with compatible RapidID software, simplifying network documentation and troubleshooting.
