Panduit NK6APC10GR Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit NK6APC10GR is a 10-foot, green, Category 6A Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission and reliable Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery. Constructed with 26 AWG stranded conductors and CM/LSZH rated cable, it supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet, data center I/O consolidation, server virtualization, and high-performance computing applications. Its patented tangle-free latch simplifies moves, adds, and changes, while the slender strain relief boot ensures easy access in dense environments.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards up to 500 MHz. It supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++ Type 3 and Type 4) applications, making it suitable for powering network devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and IoT sensors that require higher power budgets. It is wired for compatibility with both T568A and T568B schemes.

Installation Notes

The integrated tangle-free latch design prevents snagging during installation and removal, facilitating easier cable management in racks and patch panels. The slender strain relief boot is optimized for high-density deployments where space is at a premium. The 26 AWG stranded conductor construction offers flexibility for routing within conduits and cable trays.
