Panduit UTP6AX4GY Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX4GY is a 4-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network infrastructure. Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and high-performance modular plugs, it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission while limiting alien crosstalk via its solid foil tape. The tangle-free latch design streamlines installation and maintenance, making it suitable for data center and enterprise network deployments requiring reliable, high-bandwidth connections.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with network equipment supporting these specifications. It is rated for 2500 cycles with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet standards, making it suitable for connecting PoE-powered devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. Its RJ45 connectors interface with standard network ports on switches, patch panels, and end devices.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX4GY features a tangle-free latch that prevents snags and allows for a fast release, simplifying moves, adds, and changes in structured cabling systems. Its 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter cable and solid conductors require careful bending radius management during installation to avoid damage. The cord is CM rated for use in general-purpose horizontal or riser applications.
