Panduit UTP6AX40GR Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord

The Panduit TX6A™ 10Gig UTP6AX40GR delivers certified 10GBASE-T performance in a 40-foot Cat 6A patch cord built for fixed datacenter runs, camera backbone links, and PoE++ device connections. Constructed with 24 AWG solid copper conductors and engineered U/UTP geometry, this cable exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA alien crosstalk limits while supporting IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 PoE++ (up to 90W delivered power). RapidID pre-installed barcodes enable instant asset tracking and port mapping during commissioning—critical when managing hundreds of endpoints across multi-building campuses or warehouse surveillance grids.

Key Features

• Certified 10Gig performance: Exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA specifications for 10GBASE-T Ethernet up to 100 meters
• PoE++ capable: IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 compliant—delivers up to 90W to powered devices including PTZ cameras, high-performance wireless APs, and multi-sensor IP endpoints
• Solid copper construction: 24 AWG solid conductors provide superior electrical performance and long-term reliability in fixed installation environments
• RapidID asset management: Pre-installed barcode labels integrate with Panduit RapidID software for automated port mapping, cable tracing, and MAC address documentation
• Tangle-free latch design: Streamlined boot prevents snags on cable bundles and ensures fast, clean disconnects during MACs (moves, adds, changes)
• 40-foot reach: Purpose-built length for riser runs between IDF and camera mounts, cross-aisle rack connections, or structured ceiling-to-device drops in retail and industrial spaces
• U/UTP construction: Unshielded twisted pair design with internal geometry optimized to limit alien crosstalk without requiring foiled or braided shielding
• CM flammability rating: Meets UL 1863 general-purpose riser requirements for in-wall and above-ceiling installation in commercial buildings
• 2500-cycle durability: Rated for 2,500 insertion cycles under PoE++ load conditions—suitable for semi-permanent installations where connector durability matters
• Green jacket: High-visibility color coding simplifies VLAN segmentation, camera network identification, or building-area designation in mixed-use installations

The UTP6AX40GR uses Panduit's TX6A modular plug termination with internal load bar geometry that maintains pair separation and twist rate through the plug body—the critical zone where most alien crosstalk violations occur in field-terminated solutions. This factory-certified termination eliminates the guesswork and performance variability of field terminations, ensuring every cable meets the published insertion loss, return loss, and NEXT/FEXT margins required for 10GBASE-T at the full 100-meter channel length. The solid 24 AWG conductors—uncommon in patch cord applications—deliver lower DC resistance than stranded equivalents, which directly translates to reduced voltage drop over the 40-foot span when delivering PoE++ power. For integrators running 90W PTZ cameras or 60W 802.11ax access points at distance, this resistance advantage can mean the difference between a stable powered device and one that brown-outs under load. The cable's 0.250-inch (6.4mm) overall diameter strikes a balance between bundling density and bend radius—you can route a dozen of these through 1.5-inch conduit or dress them cleanly in vertical cable managers without violating the 4× diameter minimum bend radius that would degrade electrical performance.

Deploy the UTP6AX40GR in scenarios where you need certified 10Gig bandwidth and high-power PoE delivery in a single link: backbone connections between access switches and aggregation switches in two-tier datacenter fabrics, camera runs from ceiling-mounted IDF enclosures to corridor PTZ mounts 30–40 feet away, or cross-rack connections in server rooms where fiber is overkill but 1Gig copper leaves no headroom for growth. The RapidID barcode system becomes a force multiplier during commissioning and audits—scan the label at the patch panel, scan it again at the device, and Panduit's RapidID software auto-populates your DCIM or CMMS with MAC address, switch port, VLAN assignment, and physical location. This cuts hours off post-install documentation and eliminates the "ghost port" problem where decommissioned devices stay patched because no one knows which cable to pull. The tangle-free latch boot uses a low-profile geometry that prevents the release tab from snagging on adjacent cables when you're working in dense 48-port patch panels—a small detail that saves real time when you're tracing a hundred connections during production cutovers.

Panduit backs the UTP6AX40GR with compliance to ANSI/TIA-1096-A (formerly FCC Part 68) telecommunications interface standards and IEC 60603-7 modular connector specs, ensuring interoperability with every RJ45 jack from every major structured cabling vendor. The cable is RoHS compliant for EU and California installations and ships in cartons of 10 for volume orders. For integrators building IP camera networks that will scale to 4K and beyond, access layer fabrics that need 10Gig uplinks without fiber module costs, or PoE++ lighting and sensor grids in smart buildings, the UTP6AX40GR delivers the performance, power capacity, and asset management integration that turn a commodity cable run into a documented, maintainable infrastructure asset.
