Panduit UTP6AX5MRD Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX5MRD is a 5-meter (16.4 ft) Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gb/s. Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and a CM flammability rating, this red cord is engineered to limit alien crosstalk, ensuring reliable performance in demanding network environments like data centers. Its tangle-free latch simplifies moves, adds, and changes, streamlining network infrastructure management.

Compatibility

This patch cord is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, making it compatible with all 10GBASE-T Ethernet applications. It supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++ up to Type 4) power delivery standards, ensuring it can power and transmit data for devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without issue. Wired to T568A and T568B schemes, it integrates with standard network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The cable features a solid foil tape construction to mitigate alien crosstalk, critical for maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gb/s. The tangle-free latch mechanism allows for quick and easy disconnection without snagging, which is beneficial in high-density patching environments. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes facilitate efficient port mapping and inventory management when used with compatible RapidID software.
