Panduit UTP6AX18VL Cat 6A 10 Gb/s Utp Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP6AX18VL is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable rated for 10 Gb/s data transmission. Designed for structured cabling installations, this patch cable supports high-speed network connectivity in commercial and industrial environments. It provides the bandwidth and signal integrity required for demanding 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians typically install this cable to connect network switches, patch panels, and end devices in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise office environments.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and equipment-room cabling applications where 10 Gb/s performance is required. It is commonly used in structured cabling systems that follow TIA-568 and ISO 11801 standards. Typical installations include connecting patch panels to network switches, workstation drops to wall jacks, and short equipment interconnects within communications cabinets and data closets.

Key Features

• Category 6A rating supports 10 Gb/s Ethernet over the full 100-meter channel
• UTP construction requires no shielded terminations or grounding hardware
• Factory-terminated ends deliver consistent, tested performance out of the box
• Suitable for both horizontal cabling and equipment-room interconnect applications
• Sold individually (each) for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Category 6A UTP patch cable for use with standard RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches that accept 8P8C modular connectors in 10 Gb/s structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or communications cabling technicians. Ensure all connected ports and patch panels are rated for Category 6A before installation. Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or tie-wrap over-tightening, as these can degrade signal performance. Follow TIA-568 and local code requirements for cable management and labeling.
