Panduit UTP6AX7MGR 10Gig Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord 7m

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX7MGR is a 7-meter (23 ft) Cat 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed network environments. Constructed with 24 AWG solid copper conductors and a CM-rated jacket, this cable supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet and data center applications requiring high bandwidth and reliable data transmission. Its solid construction and specific design limit alien crosstalk, ensuring consistent performance up to 500 MHz. The integrated tangle-free latch on the RJ45 connectors simplifies installation and maintenance by preventing snags and ensuring a secure, quick release, which streamlines moves, adds, and changes in critical infrastructure.

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 10GBASE-T Ethernet equipment and network infrastructure designed for Cat 6A performance. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 & Type 4) PoE applications, making it suitable for powering network devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power supplies. The wiring scheme is compatible with both T568A and T568B standards, offering flexibility for diverse network setups.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter and is constructed with solid copper conductors, which provides superior performance but is less flexible than stranded cable. The tangle-free latch mechanism on the RJ45 connectors requires a firm but deliberate press for release, preventing accidental disconnections. The CM (Communications Cable) flammability rating indicates it is suitable for use in riser pathways within commercial buildings, but check local building codes for specific installation requirements.
