Panduit UTP6AX9MVL Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord

The Panduit UTP6AX9MVL delivers 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance across 9 meters (29.5 feet) in datacenter, commercial building, and enterprise network deployments. This TX6A™ series Cat 6A UTP patch cord addresses alien crosstalk challenges in high-density rack environments while maintaining compatibility with PoE++ (802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4) powered devices up to 100W. The violet jacket provides instant visual identification in color-coded structured cabling systems, and the integrated RapidID barcode streamlines documentation and port mapping during moves, adds, and changes.

Key Features

Cat 6A U/UTP construction supports 10GBASE-T to 100 meters, exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO 11801 Class EA

9-meter (29.5 ft) violet patch cord with 24 AWG solid conductors in 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter cable

Tangle-free latch design prevents snags during installation and ensures fast, reliable disconnection

Pre-installed RapidID barcode for automated cable management and port documentation

Rated for 2,500 mating cycles with IEEE 802.3af/at/bt PoE support (including 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 up to 100W)

Solid foil tape alien crosstalk mitigation for reliable performance in congested patch panel and switch environments

CM-rated jacket for general indoor use, RoHS compliant

The UTP6AX9MVL uses 24 AWG solid copper conductors in a U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction with internal foil tape shielding that limits alien crosstalk—the interference between adjacent cables in bundled runs. This design maintains the 500 MHz bandwidth required for 10GBASE-T while keeping the cable diameter to 6.4mm, a critical specification in high-density patch panel and switch environments where cable routing space is constrained. The TX6A modular plugs at both ends exceed IEC 60603-7 mechanical and electrical standards and are rated for 2,500 insertion cycles, making them suitable for active network environments where frequent patching occurs. The plugs maintain performance across the full PoE++ power range—critical for powering IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones that draw up to 100 watts over the data connection.

The 9-meter length suits cross-rack connections in datacenter rows, vertical riser runs between rack units, and horizontal cable management in large equipment closets. The violet jacket color integrates into TIA-606-C administration standards for structured cabling identification, allowing installers to designate this length or circuit type visually without referring to documentation. Panduit's tangle-free latch design solves a persistent problem in dense patch fields: traditional snagless boots catch on adjacent cables during removal, requiring installers to manipulate multiple connections to free a single cord. The TX6A latch releases cleanly with single-hand operation while maintaining the protective boot that prevents accidental disconnection. The pre-installed RapidID barcode—unique to each cord—works with Panduit's RapidID software to automate port mapping: scan the cord, scan the switch port, and the software documents the physical layer connection. This eliminates manual spreadsheet documentation and reduces the error rate during MAC (moves, adds, changes) work orders in large campus or enterprise networks.

The UTP6AX9MVL meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A transmission requirements, ISO 11801 Class EA international standards, and ANSI/TIA-1096-A (formerly FCC Part 68) for network interface device connections. UL 1863 listing and CM flammability rating qualify the cord for installation in commercial plenum-alternative pathways. The combination of 10-Gigabit performance, high-cycle connector durability, PoE++ power delivery, and integrated cable management tools makes this cord a fit for IP surveillance networks, wireless infrastructure backhaul, and converged voice/data installations where uptime, documentation accuracy, and future bandwidth headroom are non-negotiable.
