Panduit UTP6AX21OR Cat 6A Utp Patch Cable 10 Gb/s

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP6AX21OR is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable rated for 10 Gb/s data transmission. Designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial environments, this patch cable supports high-speed network connections between patch panels, switches, and end devices. The Category 6A rating meets the performance demands of modern high-bandwidth applications, including Power over Ethernet (PoE) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this cable during new construction, equipment moves, or network upgrades.

This patch cable is suited for use in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications rooms, and general commercial office environments. It is appropriate for horizontal and equipment-bay connections where a Category 6A-rated link is required. The orange jacket color aids in cable identification and tracing within high-density patch fields, which is a common need in structured cabling environments managed to TIA-568 or ISO/IEC 11801 standards.

Key Features

• Category 6A rating supports 10 Gb/s Ethernet over structured cabling runs
• UTP construction requires no shielding termination, simplifying installation
• Orange jacket color provides visual identification in patch panels and cable management
• Sold as a single unit for precise quantity ordering on service calls or small installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with Category 6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and switches in structured cabling systems conforming to TIA-568-C.2-1 or equivalent Category 6A standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network professionals. De-energize or power down connected equipment before patching where possible to avoid network disruption. Route cables through appropriate cable management hardware to maintain bend radius and avoid signal degradation. Follow TIA-568 standards for patch cord length limits within the overall channel length budget.
