Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX8RD is an 8-foot, red, Category 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed Ethernet applications. It provides reliable 10 Gb/s transmission up to 500 MHz, ideal for data center I/O consolidation, server virtualization, and backbone aggregation. The solid 24 AWG construction with a tangle-free latch ensures a secure connection and simplifies moves, adds, and changes.

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 networks. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (type 3 and type 4) Power over Ethernet applications, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. Wired for T568A and T568B schemes, it integrates into virtually any existing network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Constructed with a solid foil tape to limit alien crosstalk, this cord offers robust performance. The integrated tangle-free latch on the modular plug prevents snags during installation and removal, facilitating faster deployment and maintenance. Its 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter cable and CM flammability rating make it suitable for in-wall or riser applications where code compliance is required.
