Panduit UTP6AX9M Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Panduit UTP6AX9M Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX9M is a 9-meter (29.5 ft) Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord. Constructed with 24 AWG solid copper conductors and a CM-rated jacket, this cable is engineered to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 Gb/s) transmission speeds. Its design minimizes alien crosstalk, crucial for maintaining signal integrity in high-bandwidth network deployments. The tangle-free latch on the RJ45 connectors simplifies installation and removal, streamlining network maintenance and configuration changes. This cord is also enabled with RapidID™ pre-installed barcodes for efficient port mapping with compatible software.

Compatibility

This Category 6A patch cord is designed to exceed all ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards. It is rated for 2500 cycles with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet standards, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. It meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A requirements and IEC 60603-7 specifications for modular connectors.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket carries a CM (Communications Multipurpose) flammability rating, suitable for general-purpose horizontal or riser applications where codes permit. The solid conductor construction provides superior performance for fixed installations but is less flexible than stranded cable for frequent movement. The unique tangle-free latch design on the RJ45 connectors ensures a secure connection while allowing for quick release without snagging, which is beneficial in high-density rack environments.
