Panduit UTP6AX40BU Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Panduit UTP6AX40BU Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX40BU is a 40-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gb/s. Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and high-performance modular plugs, this blue cord is engineered to limit alien crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity in demanding network environments. Its tangle-free latch design streamlines installation and maintenance, making it suitable for structured cabling deployments in data centers, enterprise networks, and industrial automation systems where reliable connectivity is critical.

Compatibility

This patch cord is designed to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with standard RJ45 interfaces found in network switches, servers, workstations, and surveillance equipment. 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 and connecting PoE-enabled devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without signal degradation.

Installation Notes

The cable features a CM flammability rating, suitable for use in general-purpose riser or plenum spaces according to national electrical codes. The solid conductor construction requires careful handling to avoid kinking. The tangle-free latch on the modular plugs simplifies disconnection and prevents snagging during moves, adds, or changes. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes facilitate port mapping with compatible software, reducing commissioning time.
