Panduit UTP6AX8MGY Cat 6A 8M UTP Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX8MGY is an 8-meter (26.2 ft) Cat 6A Unshielded Twisted Pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gb/s. It utilizes 24 AWG solid copper conductors and high-performance RJ45 modular plugs, featuring an integrated foil tape to mitigate alien crosstalk, crucial for maintaining signal integrity in demanding network environments. This cord supports IEEE 802.3af/at/bt Type 3 & 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE++) up to 100W, simplifying infrastructure by delivering both data and power over a single cable. The integrated tangle-free latch ensures secure connection and easy disconnection, streamlining network maintenance and upgrades. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes facilitate efficient network management and port mapping with compatible software.

Compatibility

This Cat 6A 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 networks. It is suitable for use with network devices, switches, servers, and workstations requiring Category 6A performance. The PoE++ capability makes it compatible with high-power devices such as wireless access points, pan-tilt-zoom cameras, and VoIP phones that require up to 100W of power.

Installation Notes

The cable construction is CM (Communications) rated for use in riser pathways. It is rated for 2,500 mating cycles, indicating robust durability for frequent connections and disconnections. The solid copper conductors require careful handling to avoid kinking, but the tangle-free latch design simplifies the physical connection and disconnection process.
