Panduit UTP6AX5OR 10Gig Cat 6A 5 ft Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX5OR is a 5-foot, Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network deployments. Constructed with 24 AWG solid copper conductors and a CM-rated orange jacket, this cord supports 10GBASE-T transmissions up to 10 Gb/s, minimizing alien crosstalk with its solid foil tape. The integrated RapidID barcode simplifies network management and port mapping when used with compatible software, while the tangle-free snagless latch ensures easy handling and secure connection during moves, adds, and changes in data centers or 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 all 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. It supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++ up to 90W) power delivery standards, making it suitable for powering network devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones directly through the network cable without needing separate power supplies. It meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A and IEC 60603-7 specifications.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX5OR is rated for a minimum of 2,500 insertion cycles, providing durability for frequent connections and disconnections. Its 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter and solid copper construction offer robust performance. The snagless latch design prevents cable damage during installation and removal, streamlining deployment in dense network racks.
