Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6A cable meets the stringent performance requirements for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, ensuring stable and high-speed data transmission. The UTP design eliminates electromagnetic interference through precise twisted pair geometry, while the 24 AWG conductor gauge maintains signal integrity over the full 100 ft length. The RJ-45 connectors are molded with snagless bubble boots that protect the latch mechanism and simplify cable management in tight spaces.
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating indicates compliance with NEC requirements for use in spaces other than plenums, risers, and ducts, making it suitable for most office and commercial installations. The cable's construction uses polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for both the outer jacket and insulation, providing durability and flexibility for repeated handling and routing.
Key Product Advantages
This cable delivers reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance with practical features that enhance installation and maintenance. The snagless bubble boots prevent accidental unlatching when cables are bundled or pulled through racks, reducing downtime and connector damage. The bright yellow color allows for quick visual identification, simplifying cable tracing and organization in complex network environments.
High-Speed Performance
Supports 10 Gbit/s data rates for bandwidth-intensive applications, ensuring future-ready network infrastructure.
- CAT6A specification compliance
- 100-meter channel support for 10GBASE-T
- Backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT6
Durable Construction
Built with quality materials that withstand repeated installation and removal cycles.
- PVC jacket for flexibility and abrasion resistance
- Molded strain relief at connectors
- 24 AWG copper conductors for optimal signal transmission
Deployment / Use Cases
This 100 ft CAT6A patch cable is versatile enough for various network deployment scenarios. Its length makes it suitable for connecting equipment across server rooms, linking switches in different racks, or providing connectivity between floors in office buildings. The UTP construction and CM rating make it appropriate for most commercial installations where plenum-rated cable isn't required.
Common applications include connecting servers to switches in data centers, linking network equipment in telecommunications closets, extending connections between patch panels, and providing temporary or permanent links for network testing and troubleshooting. The cable works with all standard Ethernet devices including routers, switches, hubs, media converters, and network interface cards.
Data Center Connectivity
Ideal for connecting servers, storage arrays, and network switches in rack-to-rack or within-rack configurations.
Office Network Expansion
Perfect for extending network connections between floors, across large rooms, or to remote workstations.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This CAT6A cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabits per second). It meets the specifications for 10GBASE-T Ethernet, providing sufficient bandwidth for high-speed network applications including data center connectivity, video streaming, and large file transfers. The cable maintains this performance over distances up to 100 meters when properly installed.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
The cable features standard RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. Each connector has a snagless bubble boot that protects the latch mechanism from accidental disconnection. The male-to-male configuration makes it suitable for connecting network devices like switches to computers, routers to patch panels, or any equipment with RJ-45 female ports.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This cable uses Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) construction. It relies on precise twisting of the copper wire pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference rather than additional shielding layers. UTP cables are typically easier to terminate, more flexible, and less expensive than shielded alternatives while providing adequate performance for most commercial environments.
What does the CM jacket rating mean?
CM stands for Communications Multipurpose, indicating the jacket meets specific flame resistance requirements for use in general-purpose installations. CM-rated cables are suitable for use in spaces other than air plenums, risers, and ducts as defined by the National Electrical Code. This makes the cable appropriate for most office, commercial, and residential network installations.
What is the advantage of snagless bubble boots?
Snagless bubble boots protect the RJ-45 connector latch from accidentally catching on other cables, rack components, or during cable pulling. This prevents the latch from breaking or the connector from disconnecting unintentionally. The bubble design provides more protection than standard boots while maintaining easy access to the latch when intentional disconnection is needed.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This CAT6A patch cable is compatible with any network device featuring standard RJ-45 ports, including patch panels, hubs, switches, media converters, routers, and network interface cards. It supports Ethernet standards from 10BASE-T through 10GBASE-T and is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT6 equipment. The cable works with both commercial and consumer networking equipment.
