Panduit UTP6AX4.5M Patch Cord

Panduit UTP6AX4.5M Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX4.5M is a 4.5-meter (14.8 ft) Category 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed data networks. Featuring 24 AWG solid conductors and high-performance modular plugs, this cord is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A standards, ensuring reliable 10 Gb/s transmission with limited alien crosstalk. Its tangle-free latch mechanism streamlines installation and maintenance in enterprise and data center environments.

Compatibility

This Category 6A patch cord is compatible with all systems requiring ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A performance, including 10GBASE-T Ethernet networks. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE++), making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones directly through the network cable without requiring separate power supplies. The RJ45 modular plugs ensure broad compatibility with standard network equipment ports.

Installation Notes

Constructed with a CM flammability rating, this cable is suitable for use in general-purpose riser applications. The solid, unshielded twisted-pair (U/UTP) construction, combined with a foil tape barrier, effectively limits alien crosstalk, crucial for maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gb/s. The integrated tangle-free latch on the modular plugs simplifies connection and disconnection, reducing the risk of cable damage during moves, adds, or changes.
