Panduit QZPBCCB0001F010 QuickNet Cat6A UTP Trunk Cable Assembly

The Panduit QZPBCCB0001F010 is a factory-terminated 10-foot Cat6A UTP copper trunk cable engineered for QuickNet matrix deployments in data centers and telecommunications rooms. Pre-terminated with modular plugs on both ends, this trunk eliminates field termination labor, reduces installation errors, and delivers guaranteed 10GBASE-T performance at full channel length. Designed for horizontal-to-patch-panel connections or zone distribution architectures, it ships tested and certified to TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA specifications, making it the go-to choice for integrators managing tight deployment windows or retrofitting occupied facilities where downtime must stay under 4 hours per cabinet.

Key Features

• Factory-terminated Cat6A UTP trunk — zero field terminations, ships performance-tested and labeled for end-to-end traceability
• 10-foot (3-meter) length optimized for inter-cabinet runs, zone consolidation points, or top-of-rack to distribution panel connections
• QuickNet matrix-compatible plugs — mate directly with Panduit QCPXX-series patch cassettes and MTP-style copper modules for high-density breakout
• Supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters when deployed as part of a compliant permanent link and channel
• UTP construction (unshielded) — suitable for environments where EMI is controlled via grounded cabinets or shielded enclosures rather than cable-level shielding
• Tested to 500 MHz — meets Cat6A headroom requirements for PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 3/4) at 100W without derating for bundle size
• Modular plug design allows field reconfiguration if deployment topology changes post-installation
• Ships with both ends labeled — integrator marks circuit IDs on factory-provided write-on tags before pulling cable

The QZPBCCB0001F010 trunk uses 23 AWG solid copper conductors in a four-pair configuration, twisted and jacketed to maintain the 100-ohm impedance required by TIA-568.2-D Category 6A specifications. Unlike stranded patch cords, the solid-conductor design here qualifies this trunk for permanent-link installations — it can be punched down onto 110 blocks or Krone modules if the QuickNet plugs are removed, though Panduit recommends leaving the factory terminations intact to preserve the test certification. The cable jacket is low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) rated, making it compliant with IBC and NFPA 70 plenum-equivalent installations when routed through cable trays or overhead pathways in occupied spaces. The QuickNet plugs use a tool-free latch mechanism that indexes into Panduit's matrix cassettes — the installer slides the plug into the cassette until it clicks, then confirms seating with a tug test. No additional hardware or alignment fixtures are required, and the cassette's internal strain relief clamps the cable jacket to prevent kink-induced return loss at the plug interface.

Typical deployment: A hyperscale data center running 10GBASE-T to 48-port top-of-rack switches uses these 10-foot trunks to connect the switch's rear copper ports to a QuickNet patch panel mounted in the adjacent PDU cabinet. The integrator pre-stages 24 trunks per switch, labels each trunk with VLAN and subnet data, then snaps the trunks into the cassette in under 90 seconds. Because the trunks arrive pre-tested, the integrator skips the Fluke DTX certification step and moves directly to layer-3 bring-up, cutting per-rack deployment time from 4 hours to 90 minutes. In retrofit scenarios — such as upgrading a 1GBASE-T network to 10G without replacing horizontal cabling — these trunks bridge the gap between existing Cat6 permanent links and new 10G switches, provided the horizontal segment is under 90 meters and passes alien crosstalk tests. For entrance facilities or telecom rooms where fiber-to-copper media conversion happens at the cabinet, integrators use these trunks to backhaul copper circuits from SFP+ DAC-incompatible devices (like legacy VoIP gateways or building-access controllers) to a centralized 10G switch. The 10-foot length is short enough to minimize cable-tray congestion but long enough to span two 42U cabinets placed side-by-side with a 12-inch rear clearance gap.

Compliance and standards: This trunk is third-party verified to TIA-568.2-D Category 6A requirements (500 MHz, 10GBASE-T to 100m) and carries a permanent "Verified" label with the test date and serial number. It meets ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA specifications for international deployments and is UL listed under UL 444 for communications cable. The LSZH jacket complies with IEC 60332-3-24 flame propagation limits and IEC 61034-2 smoke density limits, making it suitable for European Union installations governed by the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) Euroclass Cca-s1,d1,a1. For integrators managing PoE++ rollouts, the 23 AWG conductor gauge keeps DC loop resistance under 10 ohms per 100 meters, ensuring that 100-watt Type 4 devices receive at least 71 watts at the powered device after cable loss. Panduit's factory test report (included with each trunk via QR code) documents insertion loss, return loss, NEXT, PSNEXT, ACR-F, and alien crosstalk at 1 MHz intervals from 1 to 500 MHz, giving you the data needed to prove compliance during third-party audits or customer acceptance testing. The QuickNet system's modular architecture means you can expand or reconfigure this trunk-based infrastructure without invalidating the original test certification — just add cassettes, snap in new trunks, and update your DCIM label database.
