Panduit UTP6AX4MBU 4M Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord Blue

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX4MBU is a 4-meter (13.1 ft) Category 6A Unshielded Twisted Pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network infrastructure deployments. Constructed with solid 24 AWG conductors, this blue cord ensures reliable 10 Gb/s transmission performance by limiting alien crosstalk, a critical factor in dense network cabinets and server rooms. The tangle-free latch design streamlines installation and maintenance by preventing snags and simplifying connector release, which is essential for efficient moves, adds, and changes (MACs) in enterprise environments.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. It supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++) Type 3 and Type 4 power delivery standards, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones directly over the network cable without requiring separate power supplies. The RJ45 modular plugs are designed for standard network equipment ports.

Installation Notes

The cable features a CM flammability rating, suitable for use in general-purpose horizontal applications within commercial buildings. The solid conductor construction provides excellent performance but requires careful handling to avoid kinking. The integrated tangle-free latch on the RJ45 connectors simplifies insertion and removal, reducing the risk of cable damage during network reconfiguration. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes on the cable facilitate quick and accurate documentation and management using compatible RapidID software, streamlining network audits and troubleshooting.
