Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 6a patch cable meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for performance up to 500 MHz bandwidth. The 24 AWG copper conductors ensure minimal signal attenuation, while the precise twisting of conductor pairs reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference.
The RJ-45 connectors feature gold-plated contacts for optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance. The snagless bubble boot design prevents the retention clip from catching on ports or other cables during installation and removal.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed this cable supports?
This Category 6a Ethernet cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabit Ethernet) when used with compatible network equipment. It maintains this performance across its entire 25-foot length while being backward compatible with slower Cat5e and Cat6 standards for mixed network environments.
What types of devices can I connect with this Ethernet cable?
This patch cable is designed to connect various network devices including computers, switches, routers, hubs, patch panels, and media converters. The RJ-45 male connectors on both ends make it suitable for standard Ethernet ports found on most business networking equipment and workstations.
What does the 'CM' jacket rating mean?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates the cable jacket meets specific flame resistance and smoke production standards for commercial installations. This makes the cable suitable for use in plenum spaces, risers, and general commercial environments where fire safety codes apply to network cabling.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This cable uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction. The individual conductor pairs are twisted together to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, but there is no additional foil or braided shielding around the cable. UTP cables are typically sufficient for most office environments and are easier to terminate and install than shielded alternatives.
What is the purpose of the snagless bubble boots?
The snagless bubble boots protect the RJ-45 connector retention clips from catching on ports, other cables, or rack equipment during installation and removal. This design prevents damage to the connectors and makes cable management easier in dense network environments while providing strain relief at the connection points.
Can I use this cable for outdoor installations?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use only. The PVC jacket is rated for commercial indoor installations but is not waterproof or UV-resistant for outdoor applications. For outdoor networking needs, you would need specifically rated outdoor Ethernet cables with appropriate weatherproofing and protection from environmental factors.
