Panduit UTP6AX30GY Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX30GY is a 30-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network deployments. Featuring RJ45 modular plugs on both ends, this gray cord supports 10 Gb/s transmission speeds and is rated for PoE++ (802.3bt) power delivery, making it suitable for powering network devices like IP cameras or access control readers directly over the Ethernet cable. Its CM flammability rating allows for use in non-plenum riser applications. The tangle-free latch simplifies connections and disconnections, streamlining network maintenance.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed all ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with any network equipment requiring Category 6A performance. It is rated for 2500 cycles with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) power levels, making it suitable for powering a wide range of PoE-enabled devices from various manufacturers, including IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.

Installation Notes

Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors, this cable offers robust performance. The solid foil tape construction helps limit alien crosstalk, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gb/s. The integrated tangle-free latch on the modular plugs prevents snagging during installation or moves, adds, and changes (MACs), and allows for a quick release. The cable has a diameter of 0.250 inches (6.4mm) and features pre-installed barcodes for port mapping when used with RapidID software.
