Panduit UTP6AX8MYL Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX8MYL is an 8-meter (26.2 ft) Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network deployments. Featuring 24 AWG solid conductors and high-performance modular plugs, this yellow cord is engineered to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 Gb/s) transmission by limiting alien crosstalk. The tangle-free latch simplifies connection and disconnection, streamlining network infrastructure management in enterprise and data center environments.

Compatibility

This patch cord is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring interoperability with Category 6A network infrastructure. It is rated for 2500 cycles with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards, making it suitable for powering high-demand network devices like Wi-Fi 6 access points, PTZ cameras, and IoT gateways. Its solid foil tape construction is specifically designed to manage alien crosstalk, a critical factor for maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gb/s, especially in dense cable runs.

Installation Notes

Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors, this cable is intended for fixed installations rather than frequent flexing. The CM flammability rating indicates suitability for use in general-purpose riser or general-purpose horizontal applications within commercial buildings. The integrated tangle-free latch on the modular plugs simplifies handling and prevents snagging during installation or moves, adds, and changes (MACs), reducing potential damage to the connector or surrounding equipment. The cable also features pre-installed RapidID barcodes for simplified port mapping and management using compatible software.
