Panduit UTP6AX7MVL Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX7MVL is a 7-meter (23 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 violet cord is engineered to limit alien crosstalk, ensuring reliable performance in demanding network environments, including those supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE++). Its tangle-free latch mechanism simplifies installation and maintenance, crucial for rapid moves, adds, and changes in server rooms or structured cabling deployments.

Compatibility

This patch cord is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, guaranteeing compatibility with network devices and infrastructure requiring Category 6A performance. It supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++) Type 3 and Type 4 standards, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power supplies. The RJ45 modular plugs are designed for 2500 mating cycles, ensuring longevity in active network closets.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX7MVL features a tangle-free latch on its RJ45 connectors, designed for easy, snag-free release. The cable has a diameter of 0.250 inches (6.4mm). Its solid foil tape construction is critical for limiting alien crosstalk, a common issue in high-density 10 Gb/s deployments. The cord is pre-installed with barcodes for use with Panduit's RapidID software, enabling efficient port mapping and network documentation.
