Overview

The Panduit TX6A 10Gig Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord (SKU: UTP6AX16) delivers reliable 10 Gb/s data transmission over 16 feet with its 24 AWG solid unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction. Engineered for high-density network environments, this patch cord features a 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter CM-rated jacket for compliance with commercial building wiring standards. The solid foil tape wrap minimizes alien crosstalk, ensuring consistent performance in high-interference scenarios. The tangle-free latch on the RJ45 modular plug prevents snagging during moves, adds, and changes, reducing downtime and simplifying cable management. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes enable automated port mapping via Panduit's RapidID software, streamlining network documentation and reducing human error in large-scale deployments. Ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and industrial environments requiring unshielded Cat 6A performance without the bulk of shielded solutions. Compatible with all standard 10GBASE-T network equipment and structured cabling systems. The off-white color matches common network infrastructure aesthetics while maintaining visibility for quick identification. This patch cord meets or exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA standards for Cat 6A performance.
