Panduit UTP6AX3YL Cat 6A 3ft Yellow Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX3YL is a 3-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gb/s. Its solid 24 AWG copper conductors and CM flammability rating make it suitable for data center consolidation, server virtualization, and backbone aggregation. The cord supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ applications, delivering up to 100W of power, which is critical for powering modern network devices without requiring separate power supplies.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed all ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards for frequencies up to 500 MHz. It is wired to be compatible with both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, ensuring broad interoperability with standard network infrastructure. The high-performance modular plugs are designed for reliable connections with 10GBASE-T Ethernet ports found on switches, servers, and network interface cards.

Installation Notes

The cable features a tangle-free latch on its high-performance modular plugs, which prevents snags and ensures a fast, secure release, streamlining moves, adds, and changes in dense network environments. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes facilitate simple port mapping with compatible RapidID software, simplifying network documentation and troubleshooting. The solid foil tape construction limits alien crosstalk, a critical factor for maintaining 10 Gb/s performance in high-density installations.
