Panduit UTP6AX9GY Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX9GY is a 9-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gb/s. Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and high-performance modular plugs, this gray cord minimizes alien crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity for demanding network applications. Its tangle-free latch streamlines installation and maintenance, while integrated RapidID barcodes facilitate easy port mapping in structured cabling systems. This patch cord is suitable for environments requiring robust, high-performance network connectivity.

Compatibility

This UTP6AX9GY patch cord is engineered 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, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power supplies. It meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A requirements for RJ45 connectivity.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket carries a CM (Communications Multipurpose) flammability rating, suitable for use in riser pathways. The cord is rated for 2500 insertion cycles, providing durability for frequent connections and disconnections. Its 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter and solid foil tape construction contribute to its performance characteristics. The integrated tangle-free latch simplifies disconnection and prevents snagging during moves, adds, or changes.
