Panduit UTP6AX3BL Cat 6A Patch Cord
Overview
The Panduit UTP6AX3BL is a 3-foot, black Category 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission and reliable Power over Ethernet delivery. Constructed with 24 AWG solid unshielded twisted pair copper cable and high-performance modular plugs, this cord is engineered to support 10GBASE-T Ethernet and demanding data center applications like server virtualization and backbone aggregation. Its design limits alien crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity for 10 Gb/s performance.
Compatibility
This patch cord is built to exceed all ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards for frequencies up to 500 MHz. It is compatible with T568A and T568B wiring schemes and supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (type 3 and type 4) PoE applications, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power supplies. The solid foil tape construction is key for mitigating alien crosstalk in high-density deployments.
Installation Notes
The cable features a tangle-free latch mechanism that prevents snags and ensures a fast, secure release, simplifying moves, adds, and changes in structured cabling systems. Its 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter and CM flammability rating are standard for in-wall and riser applications. The integrated RapidID barcodes allow for straightforward port mapping and asset management when used with compatible RapidID software.
