Panduit UTP6AX9MBU 9m Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX9MBU is a 9-meter (29.5 ft) Cat 6A UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) patch cord designed for high-speed data networks. Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and a CM flammability rating, this cord ensures reliable transmission up to 10 Gb/s. Its solid foil tape construction minimizes alien crosstalk, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity in demanding environments like data centers or enterprise networks. The tangle-free latch on the RJ45 connectors streamlines installation and maintenance, preventing snags during moves, adds, or changes. This specific cable supports IEEE 802.3af/at/bt (type 3 & 4) Power over Ethernet, delivering power and data simultaneously to compatible devices.

Compatibility

This Cat 6A patch cord is backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 6 systems but is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards for optimal performance. It is suitable for connecting network devices such as servers, switches, workstations, and IP cameras that require 10GBASE-T connectivity. The RJ45 modular plugs ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports.

Installation Notes

The cord features pre-installed RapidID barcodes for simplified port mapping and asset management when used with compatible RapidID software. The solid conductor construction is best suited for fixed installations rather than frequent flexing, where stranded conductors are typically preferred for patch cords. Ensure proper cable management to avoid kinks or sharp bends that could exceed the minimum bend radius and impact performance.
