Panduit UTP6AX6GY Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX6GY is a 6-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gb/s. Featuring 24 AWG solid conductors and a CM flammability rating, this gray cord is constructed to minimize alien crosstalk, critical for maintaining signal integrity in demanding network environments. Its tangle-free latch simplifies moves, adds, and changes, streamlining deployment and maintenance in data centers or structured cabling systems.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring backward compatibility with Category 5e and Category 6 infrastructure. It is rated for 2500 cycles with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards, making it suitable for powering network devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without signal degradation. The RJ45 modular plugs are compatible with standard keystone jacks and patch panels.

Installation Notes

Constructed with solid conductors, this patch cord is intended for fixed installations within structured cabling systems, not for use as a flexible cord. The CM rating indicates suitability for use in building communications rooms and risers. The integrated tangle-free latch mechanism requires a simple press to release, preventing damage to the connector or adjacent ports during disconnection. Pre-installed barcodes facilitate port mapping with RapidID software, simplifying inventory management and troubleshooting.
