Panduit UTP6AX0.2MRD Cat6a Utp Patch Cable 10gb/s

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP6AX0.2MRD is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable rated for 10 Gb/s data transmission. Designed to support high-bandwidth structured cabling installations, this cable provides reliable performance in demanding network environments. The Category 6A rating indicates compliance with augmented Category 6 standards, supporting frequencies up to 500 MHz and full 10 Gigabit Ethernet operation. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers use this patch cable to connect patch panels, switches, servers, and end devices in commercial and enterprise environments.

This patch cable is suited for structured cabling systems in commercial office buildings, data centers, and enterprise network closets. Its UTP construction makes it appropriate for environments where external interference is not a primary concern and where a straightforward, cost-effective 10 Gb/s connection is required. The short cable length indicated by the part number makes it well suited for patch panel to switch connections within a rack or cabinet.

Key Features

• Category 6A rating supports 10 Gb/s Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz
• UTP construction for straightforward installation without shielding termination
• Compact form factor suitable for high-density rack and cabinet patching
• Red jacket color aids visual identification and cable management in dense installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Category 6A UTP patch cable compatible with IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T network equipment, Category 6A patch panels, and RJ45 keystone jacks meeting TIA-568-C.2-1 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure patch cable bend radius is not exceeded during routing to avoid signal degradation. Avoid bundling excessive numbers of UTP cables tightly together, as this can increase alien crosstalk on 10 Gb/s links. Verify that all connected ports and patch panels are rated Category 6A to maintain full channel performance.
