Panduit UTP6AX45BL Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX45BL is a 45-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network deployments. It specifically addresses the need for robust connectivity in environments requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance and support for PoE++ (802.3bt) power delivery. The 24 AWG solid conductor construction and foil tape shielding minimize alien crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity for demanding applications like surveillance video transmission or data center interconnects. Its tangle-free latch mechanism streamlines installation and maintenance by preventing snags and allowing for quick disconnection.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to meet and exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, making it compatible with all Category 6A network infrastructure. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet standards, ensuring it can reliably deliver power to compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without signal degradation. The RJ45 modular plugs are standard for Ethernet connectivity across network switches, routers, and endpoint devices.

Installation Notes

Constructed with CM-rated cable, this patch cord is suitable for use in pathways and spaces between the floor and ceiling in commercial buildings. The integral tangle-free latch on the RJ45 connector prevents snagging during installation and removal, simplifying moves, adds, and changes. The cable features a 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter, offering a balance between flexibility and durability for cable management systems. Pre-installed RapidID™ barcodes on the cable facilitate simple port mapping and network management when used with compatible RapidID software.
