Panduit UTP6AX50VL Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord

The Panduit UTP6AX50VL delivers 10GBASE-T performance in a 50-foot factory-terminated patch cord. Built on 24 AWG solid copper with U/UTP construction, this Cat 6A cable supports 10 Gb/s transmission while meeting alien crosstalk limits per ANSI/TIA-568.2-D. The violet jacket simplifies color-coded infrastructure, and the 0.250-inch diameter fits standard cable management without forcing bends. Rated for IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 PoE (up to 100W), it handles high-power PTZ cameras, Wi-Fi 6 APs, and PoE lighting without voltage drop concerns. RapidID barcodes are pre-installed for port mapping, and the tangle-free latch design cuts deployment time on dense patch-panel runs.

Key Features

• 10GBASE-T capable: Exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA for 10 Gb/s links
• 24 AWG solid copper conductors with U/UTP construction for consistent impedance and alien crosstalk control
• 50-foot length (15.24 m) with violet jacket for visual infrastructure coding
• IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 certified: supports up to 100W PoE for PTZ cameras and high-power devices
• RapidID pre-installed barcodes for software-assisted port mapping and DCIM integration
• Tangle-free latch prevents snags during installation and ensures fast release in high-density racks
• 2500 mating cycle rating and CM flammability rating for commercial horizontal applications
• 0.250-inch (6.4 mm) overall diameter fits standard D-rings and cable trays

The TX6A™ 10Gig series uses solid 24 AWG copper conductors in an unshielded twisted-pair configuration. While U/UTP lacks the foil shield found in F/UTP designs, Panduit's conductor pair geometry and twist rates control alien crosstalk (AXT) to Class EA limits when installed per ANSI/TIA-568.2-D channel specs. For integrators running high-density bundles, this means you can pull parallel home runs without crosstalk-induced packet loss on 10GBASE-T links. The solid conductor construction is optimized for fixed-length patch applications where flexibility isn't critical—these cords hold their shape in vertical cable managers and don't slump in horizontal trays. The modular plugs are factory-terminated and tested to 2500 mating cycles (IEC 60603-7), giving you ~7 years of weekly moves before mechanical wear becomes a concern. CM flammability rating clears general-purpose commercial spaces; if you need plenum, Panduit's CMP-rated TX6A variant covers that.

The 50-foot length hits a sweet spot for intermediate distribution frame (IDF) to rack connections, cross-aisle switch links, or workstation-to-wall-port extensions in open-plan offices. Violet jacketing integrates into TIA-606-C administration schemes—common uses include dedicated VLAN traffic (VoIP, building automation, guest Wi-Fi) or physical segregation of security camera networks. The 0.250-inch diameter is thick enough to prevent kinks under cable-tie tension but slim enough to fit 48-port patch panels with proper bend-radius management. For PoE deployments, the 802.3bt Type 3/4 rating means you can power 60-90W PTZ cameras or Wi-Fi 6E APs at full load without thermal derating—the solid copper cross-section handles continuous current better than stranded equivalents. RapidID barcodes ship pre-applied; scan them during install, and Panduit's RapidID software auto-populates your port schedule. That's a time-saver on 200+ port rollouts where manual labeling errors break CMDB accuracy.

This cord ships in cartons of 10, priced for volume deployments where you're standardizing on one vendor's end-to-end Cat 6A ecosystem. The tangle-free latch is a small detail that matters on ladder-rack installs—the boot won't catch on adjacent cables when you're pulling the cord through tight bundles. It's backed by Panduit's Pan-Net warranty and exceeds ANSI/TIA-1096-A telephony requirements if you're still supporting analog building-entry panels or elevator phones over the same infrastructure. For integrators spec'ing 10-gig backbone refresh or PoE++ camera arrays, this is a known-good SKU that won't introduce channel failures or alien crosstalk margin issues when tested with a DSX-8000.
