Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a cable meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards and operates at frequencies up to 650 MHz, providing superior performance for 10GBASE-T networks. The 28 AWG stranded conductors balance flexibility with durability, and the cable includes shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring stable data transmission in electrically noisy environments.
The RJ-45 connectors feature a snagless design that prevents latch breakage and a gold-plated contact surface for optimal conductivity. The cable is engineered with Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) performance that exceeds Cat6a requirements, supporting reliable high-bandwidth applications over its full 100-foot length.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Product Color, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The BENDnFLEX Ultra-Thin design sets this cable apart by combining high performance with exceptional maneuverability. Its reduced diameter and stranded construction allow for easier installation in crowded patch panels, conduits, and cable management systems without compromising signal integrity.
Enhanced Flexibility
The ultra-thin stranded cable bends easily around corners and through tight spaces, reducing strain on connectors and simplifying cable management in dense racks.
- Easier routing in confined areas
- Reduced cable bulk
- Improved airflow in racks
Reliable Connectivity
Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and shielding ensure consistent performance with minimal signal loss, supporting high-speed networks without dropouts or interference.
- Gold contacts resist corrosion
- Shielding protects against EMI
- Snagless boot prevents damage
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for connecting switches, routers, servers, and workstations in environments that require both high bandwidth and flexible cabling solutions. Its 100-foot length makes it suitable for longer runs between equipment racks or across office floors.
Common applications include data center patching, office network expansions, home theater setups with networked devices, and industrial Ethernet installations where reliable high-speed connections are critical. The purple color aids in cable identification and organization in multi-cable environments.
Data Center Patching
Connect servers to top-of-rack switches or link distribution switches with minimal bulk, improving airflow and simplifying cable management in high-density racks.
Office Network Infrastructure
Run cables between floors or across large open spaces to extend network access points, support VoIP phones, or connect workstations to central switches.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this Cat6a cable?
This Axiom Cat6a cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBASE-T) over its full 100-foot length. It operates at frequencies up to 650 MHz, meeting TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for high-performance Ethernet networks.
Are both ends of the cable the same type of connector?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. Each end has a single RJ-45 connector, making it a standard patch cable for connecting network devices like switches, routers, and computers.
Does this cable include shielding for interference protection?
Yes, the cable is shielded to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. This shielding helps maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments, ensuring stable performance for high-speed data transmission.
How does the ultra-thin design benefit installation?
The ultra-thin stranded construction makes the cable more flexible and easier to route through tight spaces, conduits, and crowded patch panels. It reduces cable bulk, improves airflow in racks, and minimizes strain on connectors during installation.
What is the purpose of the snagless boot on the connectors?
The snagless boot is a protective cover over the RJ-45 latch that prevents the connector from snagging on other cables or equipment during installation and removal. This design helps avoid latch breakage and extends the cable's lifespan in high-use environments.
Is this cable compliant with government procurement standards?
Yes, this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant and manufactured in the United States, making it suitable for government and institutional procurement where compliance with specific sourcing regulations is required.
