Panduit UTP6AX4.5MBU Cat 6A Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX4.5MBU is a 4.5-meter (14.8 ft) Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/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 in-wall installations within commercial environments. The integrated tangle-free latch simplifies moves, adds, and changes by preventing snagging during connections and disconnections, streamlining network infrastructure management.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring interoperability with network equipment supporting these specifications. It is rated for 2500 cycles with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE++) standards, making it suitable for powering high-demand devices like Wi-Fi 6 access points or PTZ cameras. The cable is compatible with standard RJ45 modular plugs and sockets found on network switches, routers, and end devices.

Installation Notes

Constructed with solid 24 AWG copper conductors, this cable is intended for fixed installations rather than frequent flexing. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) flammability rating meets requirements for use in riser pathways. The UTP6AX4.5MBU features high-performance modular plugs with a solid foil tape shield to limit alien crosstalk, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gb/s speeds. The unique tangle-free latch design allows for easy release without damaging the connector or adjacent ports.
