Panduit UTP6AX8VL Cat 6A 10Gig 8ft Patch Cord Violet

Panduit UTP6AX8VL TX6A 10Gig Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord

The Panduit UTP6AX8VL delivers 10 Gbps Ethernet performance in an 8-foot Cat 6A UTP patch cord engineered for equipment room cross-connects, horizontal cabling extensions, and PoE++ device deployments. Built with solid 24 AWG conductors and high-performance modular plugs, this violet-jacketed cord supports 10GBase-T transmission, PoE++ power delivery up to 100W (802.3bt Type 4), and integrates pre-installed RapidID barcodes for automated port documentation. The tangle-free latch design eliminates snags during rack installations and accelerates moves, adds, and changes in dense network environments.

Key Features

• 10 Gbps transmission up to 100 meters over Cat 6A infrastructure
• Solid 24 AWG U/UTP construction with 0.250" (6.4mm) diameter for permanent link applications
• RapidID pre-installed barcodes for automated cable management and port mapping
• Tangle-free latch prevents snags in high-density patch panel and switch installations
• PoE++ compatible: rated for IEEE 802.3af/at and 802.3bt Type 3 (60W) and Type 4 (100W)
• Violet jacket for color-coded network segmentation and VLAN organization
• Exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards
• 2,500-cycle connector durability rating for frequent reconnections during MACs

Solid conductor construction provides superior insertion loss consistency compared to stranded alternatives, making the UTP6AX8VL suitable for semi-permanent equipment room links, patch panel to switch uplinks, and horizontal cabling test configurations. The unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) design eliminates bonding and grounding requirements while maintaining alien crosstalk performance sufficient for 10GBase-T operation in most commercial installations. High-performance modular plugs meet IEC 60603-7 and ANSI/TIA-1096-A (formerly FCC Part 68) requirements, ensuring reliable termination to Cat 6A jacks and patch panels. The CM flammability rating qualifies the cord for general building use in horizontal pathways and equipment rooms.

Deploy the UTP6AX8VL in network closets for patch panel to switch connections, equipment rooms for cross-connect links, and at the edge for IP camera PoE injector feeds or high-power PTZ camera installations requiring PoE++ delivery. The RapidID barcode system integrates with Panduit's cable management software to automate port mapping during commissioning—scan the cord's barcode, capture both ends' termination points, and eliminate manual documentation errors across hundreds or thousands of connections in enterprise, datacenter, or campus network buildouts. Violet color coding differentiates this cord from standard blue/yellow/green schemes, enabling fast visual identification of specific network segments, inter-building links, or vendor-separated VLANs in multi-tenant facilities.

Exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA performance requirements, UL 1863 listed, and rated for 2,500 insertion cycles—five times typical Cat 6 patch cord durability. The cord supports PoE++ power delivery per IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 (60W) and Type 4 (100W) for high-power IP cameras, wireless access points, and powered devices without voltage drop concerns over the 8-foot length. RoHS compliant for environmental purchasing mandates. The RapidID barcode eliminates the commissioning bottleneck of manually documenting patch cord connections and supports ongoing MAC operations by maintaining accurate as-built records in structured cabling management systems.
