Panduit UTP6AX9BU Cat 6A 9ft Blue Patch Cord
Overview
The Panduit UTP6AX9BU is a 9-foot Category 6A UTP patch cord designed for 10GBASE-T Ethernet applications, data center consolidation, and server virtualization. Its solid 24 AWG copper construction and CM flammability rating make it suitable for in-wall or in-ceiling deployments where plenum is not required. The tangle-free latch design simplifies moves, adds, and changes by preventing snags and ensuring a secure release, streamlining network infrastructure management.
Compatibility
This patch cord supports IEEE 802.3af/802.3at and 802.3bt type 3 and type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE++) applications, delivering up to 100W to connected devices without requiring separate power supplies. It is wired for compatibility with both T568A and T568B schemes and exceeds all ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards for frequencies up to 500 MHz, ensuring robust performance with compliant network equipment.
Installation Notes
The UTP6AX9BU features a solid foil tape construction to limit alien crosstalk, a critical factor for maintaining 10 Gb/s transmission integrity over its 9-foot length. The integrated RapidID barcode allows for quick port mapping using compatible RapidID software, reducing troubleshooting time and simplifying inventory management in large-scale network deployments.
