FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this CAT6A cable?
This Axiom CAT6A cable supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s. It is designed for high-speed network applications, including Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit networks, ensuring efficient data transmission for business environments with demanding bandwidth needs.
How long is the cable, and is the length sufficient for my setup?
The cable is 100 feet long, which equals 30.48 meters. This length is suitable for connecting devices across large rooms, between floors, or in data center aisles. It provides ample reach for most office and commercial networking scenarios without requiring additional extenders.
Are both ends of the cable the same type of connector?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors. Each end has one RJ-45 connector, making it a standard patch cable for connecting network devices like computers, switches, and routers. The gold plating on the contacts enhances connectivity and durability.
Does this cable have shielding to prevent interference?
Yes, this cable includes shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI). This feature helps maintain signal integrity in environments with electrical noise, such as near power cables or in industrial settings, ensuring stable and reliable network performance.
What does 'ultra-thin' mean for this patch cable?
The ultra-thin design refers to the cable's reduced jacket thickness and flexible construction. It allows for easier routing through tight spaces, improves airflow in cable management systems, and reduces overall bulk. This makes installation simpler and helps organize cables more efficiently.
Is this cable compliant with environmental and government standards?
Yes, this cable is RoHS compliant, meaning it restricts hazardous substances, and it is TAA compliant, meeting Trade Agreements Act requirements. These compliances make it suitable for government contracts and environmentally conscious organizations, ensuring it adheres to strict regulatory standards.
