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

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

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX8VL is an 8-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gb/s. Its solid 24 AWG conductors and CM-rated jacket ensure reliable performance in demanding network environments, supporting critical infrastructure like surveillance systems and automated warehouses. The integrated RapidID barcode simplifies asset tracking and port mapping, reducing deployment time and potential errors. This cord is engineered to limit alien crosstalk, a common issue in high-density installations that can degrade network performance.

Compatibility

This patch cord is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with all Category 6A network infrastructure. It supports IEEE 802.3af/at, 802.3bt Type 3, and Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE++) standards, providing sufficient power for PoE-enabled devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power supplies. It meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A requirements and IEC 60603-7 specifications.

Installation Notes

Constructed with solid conductors, this patch cord is intended for fixed installations rather than frequent flexing. The tangle-free latch mechanism on the RJ45 plugs prevents accidental disengagement and snagging during installation or relocation, streamlining moves, adds, and changes. The cord's CM flammability rating is suitable for use in riser pathways within commercial buildings. The connector durability is rated for 2,500 mating cycles, providing longevity in environments with frequent patching.
