Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable meets Category 6 specifications, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and higher network speeds with minimized near-end crosstalk (NEXT) for clear signal integrity. The ultra-thin jacket and 28 AWG wire gauge reduce cable stiffness, allowing easier routing in crowded racks or behind desks.
Gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 connectors enhance corrosion resistance and maintain reliable electrical connectivity over repeated insertions. The snagless boot design protects the connector latch from accidental release, ensuring secure connections in active network setups.

FAQ
What is the cable length and category rating?
This Axiom patch cable is 10 feet (3.05 meters) long and rated Category 6, supporting data transmission up to 550 MHz. It is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and higher-speed network applications where reliable performance is required.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends feature RJ45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. Each end has a single RJ45 connector, making it a standard patch cable for connecting network devices like computers, switches, or routers.
What does 'ultra-thin' and 'snagless' mean for this cable?
Ultra-thin refers to the reduced jacket thickness and 28 AWG wire, which makes the cable more flexible and easier to route in tight spaces. Snagless indicates the boot design protects the connector latch from catching and accidentally releasing, ensuring secure connections.
Is this cable TAA compliant and environmentally friendly?
Yes, this cable is TAA compliant, meeting Trade Agreements Act requirements for U.S. government procurement. It is also environmentally friendly, though specific certifications are not detailed in product details.
