Panduit UTP6AX8M Cat 6A 10Gig Patch Cord 8M Off White

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX8M is an 8-meter (26.2 ft) Cat 6A Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network deployments requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. Its solid 24 AWG copper conductors and CM flammability rating make it suitable for in-wall or riser installations. The tangle-free snagless latch design streamlines moves, adds, and changes, while the pre-installed RapidID barcode simplifies network documentation and management within compatible systems.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with network infrastructure supporting 10 Gb/s speeds up to 100 meters. It is rated for 2500 mating cycles, suitable for frequent connections and disconnections in active network environments. The RJ45 modular plugs are standard for most Ethernet networking equipment, including switches, routers, and network interface cards.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX8M supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt types 3 (60W) and 4 (100W) Power over Ethernet (PoE++), allowing it to carry power and data simultaneously without requiring separate power sources for connected devices. The cable diameter is 0.250 inches (6.4mm). It is RoHS compliant, indicating adherence to environmental standards regarding hazardous substances.
