Panduit UTP6AX16BU Cat 6A Utp Patch Cable 10gb/s

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP6AX16BU is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable rated for 10 Gb/s data transmission. Designed for structured cabling installations, it connects network equipment, patch panels, and switches in both commercial and enterprise environments. Category 6A cabling supports bandwidth up to 500 MHz and meets the performance requirements for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this cable during new construction, infrastructure upgrades, and data center buildouts where high-speed, reliable connectivity is required.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and equipment-room cabling runs in commercial office buildings, data centers, and industrial facilities. It is appropriate for use with Category 6A-rated jacks, keystone modules, and patch panels. The blue jacket color aids in visual identification and cable management within structured cabling systems. It is sold individually as a single unit.

Key Features

• Category 6A rating supports 10 Gb/s Ethernet over copper cabling
• UTP construction with no shielding required, simplifying termination and routing
• 500 MHz bandwidth supports high-density network environments
• Blue jacket provides visual identification for cable management and tracing
• Sold as a single unit, suitable for targeted replacement or small-quantity installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with Category 6A-rated structured cabling components including patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in commercial and enterprise cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active equipment at the port before plugging or unplugging patch cables to avoid signal disruption. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. Do not bundle or route alongside high-voltage conductors per NEC guidelines for low-voltage wiring.
