Panduit UTP6AX6VL Category 6A Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX6VL is a 6-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network deployments. Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and high-performance modular plugs, this cord limits alien crosstalk to ensure reliable 10 Gb/s transmission. The tangle-free latch simplifies connection and disconnection, streamlining network moves, adds, and changes. Its violet color aids in visual identification within structured cabling systems. This patch cord is suitable for data centers and enterprise environments requiring robust 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

Compatibility

This Category 6A patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with all Category 6A network infrastructure components. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet standards, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power supplies. The RJ45 connectors are interoperable with standard Ethernet ports on switches, routers, and network interface cards.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX6VL features a solid foil tape construction to manage alien crosstalk, which is critical for maintaining 10 Gb/s performance. The integrated tangle-free latch mechanism on the modular plugs allows for easy, snag-free release, simplifying installation and maintenance in densely populated racks. Each cord is equipped with pre-installed barcodes for use with Panduit's RapidID software, enabling efficient port mapping and asset management.
