Panduit UTP6AX45YL 45 ft Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX45YL is a 45-foot Cat 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gb/s. Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and an unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) design, this cord minimizes alien crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity for demanding network applications. The integrated tangle-free latch simplifies installation and maintenance by preventing snags and allowing for quick release, ideal for structured cabling systems in enterprise and data center environments. Its yellow jacket color aids in visual identification and cable management.

Compatibility

This Cat 6A patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with 10GBASE-T networks. It supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++ Type 3 and 4) power delivery standards, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones directly through the network cable. The RJ45 modular plugs are standard for most networking equipment, including switches, routers, and servers.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX45YL features a solid conductor construction, which offers superior performance for fixed installations but is less flexible than stranded cable for frequent moves. The jacket has a CM (Communications Multipurpose) flammability rating, suitable for use in riser pathways. The cord is rated for 2,500 mating cycles, indicating robust durability for frequent connections and disconnections. The pre-installed RapidID barcode simplifies asset tracking and port mapping when used with compatible Panduit RapidID software.
