Panduit STP6X17MBU Cat 6A S/FTP 17m Patch Cord Blue

Overview

The Panduit STP6X17MBU is a 17-meter (55.8 ft) Cat 6A shielded twisted pair (S/FTP) patch cord, finished in blue. It's designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10GBASE-T, supporting 500 MHz bandwidth. This cord is ideal for demanding network applications such as stacking switches, aggregating Gigabit Ethernet channels, and handling high-throughput data streams like video or financial transactions. The integrated RapidID barcode simplifies cable management in dense environments.

Compatibility

This patch cord is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with standard Cat 6A network infrastructure. It supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet speeds and is rated for IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 & Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE++), delivering up to 90W. The stranded 26 AWG copper conductors provide flexibility for patch panel connections.

Installation Notes

Constructed with CM/LSZH (CM/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rated cable for flammability compliance. The cable features an S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) construction, meaning each pair is foil-shielded, and the entire cable bundle is also shielded, offering enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. The plugs include a tangle-free latch for secure connection and easy release, along with a slender strain relief boot designed for high-density installations. The cord is rated for 2500 connection cycles.
