Panduit UTP6AX13MBU Cat 6A Utp Patch Cable 10 Gb/s

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP6AX13MBU is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable rated for 10 Gb/s data transmission. Designed to meet the demands of high-density structured cabling environments, this patch cable supports the bandwidth and signal integrity requirements of modern network infrastructure. It is used to terminate horizontal runs, connect patch panels to switches, or link workstation drops to active equipment. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers are the primary trades who deploy this cable in commercial and enterprise environments.

This patch cable is suited for structured cabling installations in commercial buildings, data centers, and server rooms where 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance is required. Category 6A cabling supports frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it appropriate for 10GBASE-T applications over standard horizontal cable distances. It is also a fit for enterprise LAN closets and high-performance workstation connections where future-proofing bandwidth capacity is a priority.

Key Features

• Category 6A rating supports 10 Gb/s Ethernet (10GBASE-T) transmission
• UTP construction — no shielding required, simplifying termination and routing
• Sold as a single unit (EA), ready for immediate field deployment
• Blue jacket color supports standard color-coded patch panel management conventions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit patch cable for Category 6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 ports in structured cabling systems compliant with TIA-568-C.2 or ISO/IEC 11801 Category 6A specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by registered communications distribution designers (RCDD) or licensed low-voltage cabling technicians. Deactivate the switch port or patch panel connection before seating or removing patch cables in live environments to avoid unintended network disruption. Follow TIA-568 bend radius guidelines to maintain signal integrity — do not kink, crush, or exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket. Verify polarity and lane assignments when deploying in 10GBASE-T switch environments.
