Panduit UTP6AX40OR Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX40OR 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 CM-rated cable, it ensures reliable performance in demanding network environments. The integrated tangle-free latch simplifies moves, adds, and changes, while pre-installed RapidID barcodes streamline port mapping with compatible software. This cord is ideal for connecting network devices, servers, and workstations where robust 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is required.

Compatibility

This Category 6A patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards. 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 network devices like Wi-Fi 6 access points and pan-tilt-zoom security cameras. Its high-performance modular plugs ensure secure connections with standard RJ45 ports found on network switches, routers, and end devices.

Installation Notes

The cable features a solid foil tape construction to limit alien crosstalk, a critical factor for maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gb/s. The unique tangle-free latch design allows for quick release without damaging the connector or adjacent ports, improving installation efficiency. The CM flammability rating indicates suitability for use in general-purpose riser or plenum spaces where permitted by code. The 40-foot length provides ample reach for rack-to-rack or desk-to-wall connections.
