Overview

The Panduit UTPK6A5OR TX6A 10Gig Keyed Cat 6A UTP Patch Cord delivers certified 10 Gb/s transmission over 5 feet of 23 AWG unshielded twisted pair stranded CM cable. Engineered for high-density deployments, this patch cord features MaTriX Tape Technology to suppress alien crosstalk, ensuring reliable performance in 4-connector channel configurations up to 100 meters. The cable meets ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA Edition 2.1 standards for 10GBASE-T applications. Keyed modular plug on one end prevents unintentional mating with non-keyed or mismatched jacks, reducing installation errors in critical network segments. The opposite end uses a standard non-keyed modular plug for compatibility with work area outlets and patch panels. Both ends support T568A and T568B wiring schemes. The flame-retardant jacket and quadrant-separated copper conductors ensure consistent signal integrity. RapidID technology integrates pre-installed barcodes for simplified port mapping with Panduit's RapidID software, accelerating network documentation and troubleshooting. The 0.280-inch cable diameter balances flexibility and durability for demanding environments. Contacts are plated with 50 microinches of gold for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. This patch cord is part of the TX6A 10GIG UTP Copper Cabling System, optimized for enterprise networks, data centers, and high-performance computing environments.
