Panduit UTP6AX4MYL Cat 6A 4M Yellow Patch Cord

Panduit UTP6AX4MYL TX6A 10Gig Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord, 4-Meter, Yellow

The Panduit TX6A 10Gig Cat 6A patch cord is built for commercial structured cabling deployments requiring 10 Gb/s throughput with alien crosstalk mitigation. This 4-meter (13.1-foot) yellow cord uses 24 AWG solid copper conductors in a U/UTP construction, with a solid foil tape layer that suppresses alien crosstalk in high-density rack environments. The tangle-free modular latch design prevents snags during installation and removal, cutting troubleshooting time in deep patch panels or congested switch faceplates. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes integrate with Panduit's port-mapping software, automating topology documentation and eliminating manual spreadsheet updates during moves, adds, or changes. For datacenter interconnects, enterprise network rooms, or surveillance PoE switch deployments where 10-Gig performance, port documentation, and connector durability matter, this patch cord delivers without requiring field termination or custom cable assembly.

Key Features

• Supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE and 802.3bt PoE++ (Type 3 & Type 4) at 2500 mating cycles for long-term reliability under high-power loads
• 4-meter (13.1-foot) length in yellow jacket for easy circuit identification and VLAN segregation
• UL 1863 listed, meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A and IEC 60603-7, RoHS compliant

The UTP6AX4MYL uses 24 AWG solid copper conductors in an unshielded twisted-pair configuration (U/UTP), with a solid foil tape layer that limits alien crosstalk—critical when running 10GBASE-T over copper in high-density racks where adjacent cables can induce interference. The 0.25-inch overall diameter keeps the cable manageable in congested pathways and cable trays, while the CM flammability rating meets general commercial riser requirements. The modular plugs on both ends feature a tangle-free latch design: the release mechanism sits flush with the plug body, reducing the chance of snags on adjacent cables during moves, adds, or changes. This design detail cuts troubleshooting time in deep patch panels or crowded switch faceplates, where a traditional protruding latch can catch on neighboring cords and require re-seating multiple connections just to remove one cable. The yellow jacket provides instant visual differentiation—useful for segregating VLANs, security networks, or temporary circuits—and the 4-meter length fits most row-to-row or rack-to-rack runs in small to mid-sized installations without excess slack that invites cable-management tangles.

In structured cabling environments—datacenter interconnects, enterprise network rooms, or surveillance PoE switch deployments—the RapidID barcode system streamlines documentation workflows. Each cord ships with a pre-printed barcode label that pairs with Panduit's RapidID software: scan the patch cord at both ends of the link, and the software auto-populates your port map with physical-layer topology, switch port assignments, and cable serial numbers. This workflow eliminates manual spreadsheet updates and reduces port-tracking errors during network growth or reorganization, particularly in environments where seasonal changes (retail expansions, campus moves, event installations) drive frequent reconfiguration. The solid conductor construction ensures consistent impedance and return loss across the 4-meter span, maintaining 10 Gb/s performance even in environments with moderate temperature swings or mechanical stress from frequent handling. The 6.4mm overall diameter strikes a balance between flexibility and durability: thin enough to route through crowded pathways, thick enough to resist kinking and maintain geometry under tension.

The UTP6AX4MYL meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA specifications, ensuring 500 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gb/s data rates up to 100 meters—the full permanent-link distance for structured cabling. It's rated for 2500 mating cycles under IEEE 802.3af (15.4W PoE), 802.3at (25.5W PoE+), and 802.3bt Type 3/Type 4 (60W and 100W PoE++) loading—critical for long-term reliability in IP camera, wireless AP, and LED lighting deployments where high-power PoE levels stress connector contacts and can accelerate wear on substandard terminations. The UL 1863 listing and ANSI/TIA-1096-A compliance (formerly FCC Part 68) certify the modular plugs for use in commercial telecommunications circuits, and RoHS compliance ensures the product meets EU hazardous-substance restrictions for export or multinational installations. For commercial integrators deploying 10-Gig copper infrastructure in network rooms, datacenter edge aggregation, or high-bandwidth surveillance systems, this patch cord delivers field-proven alien crosstalk suppression, PoE durability, and automated documentation support without the lead time or cost of custom cable assembly.
