Panduit UTP6AX35BL 35ft Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord - Black

Panduit UTP6AX35BL Cat 6A Patch Cord

The Panduit UTP6AX35BL delivers 10Gig Ethernet performance in a 35-foot Cat 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-density datacenter and network room deployments. Built on 24 AWG solid copper conductors with a tangle-free latch and pre-installed RapidID barcodes, this cord simplifies documentation while surviving 2500+ mating cycles under full PoE++ load. The 0.250-inch diameter and solid foil tape construction keep alien crosstalk below spec even in congested pathways, making it the right choice for rack-to-rack links where cable management space is tight and 10GBASE-T uptime matters.

Key Features

• 10Gig Cat 6A UTP construction exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO 11801 Class EA for reliable 10GBASE-T transmission
• RapidID pre-installed barcodes enable fast port mapping and circuit tracing with Panduit's RapidID software
• Tangle-free latch design prevents snags during installation and ensures clean release in dense patch fields
• 24 AWG solid copper conductors with solid foil tape shielding limit alien crosstalk in high-density environments
• 35-foot (10.67m) length covers typical rack-to-rack runs in network closets and small datacenters
• Rated for IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (PoE++) and 2500 mating cycles under full power load
• Black jacket (CM rated) matches standard datacenter cable color coding for data circuits

The TX6A 10Gig series uses U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction with internal foil tape to meet Category 6A performance without the bulk and bend radius penalties of shielded cable. At 0.250 inches (6.4mm) in diameter, these cords fit through crowded horizontal managers and vertical raceways where F/UTP or S/FTP cables bind. The solid copper conductors deliver lower insertion loss than stranded alternatives across the full 1–500 MHz bandwidth, and the modular plugs are terminated to exceed 500 MHz return loss and near-end crosstalk specs by a comfortable margin. When you're pushing 10 watts or more per port (802.3at) or deploying 90-watt PoE++ devices, that thermal and electrical headroom keeps link errors off your troubleshooting list.

RapidID barcodes are printed directly on the cord body near each end, giving you a scannable asset tag for every circuit without hand-labeling or wrap-around tags that fall off during moves. Pair these cords with Panduit's RapidID mobile app or standalone scanner to auto-populate port maps, generate as-built documentation, and trace circuits during adds or MAC work. The tangle-free latch uses a flexible boot that deflects snags instead of breaking, and the release action is smooth enough for single-handed operation even when you're pulling from the bottom of a 48-port stack. After 2500 insertion cycles—roughly five years of quarterly repatching—the plug still meets the Category 6A mating-interface spec, so these cords survive the useful life of the switch without developing intermittent contact issues.

For integrators running structured cabling in commercial offices, IDF closets, or edge datacenter racks where 10Gig copper links are spec'd but space is at a premium, the UTP6AX35BL delivers standards-compliant transmission, built-in circuit labeling, and mechanical durability that outlasts cheaper import cords by a factor of three. The 35-foot length hits the sweet spot for adjacent-rack uplinks, cross-connects to fiber distribution panels, or any scenario where the standard 10- or 15-foot patch cord comes up short and the 50-footer leaves you coiling slack.
