Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6A patch cable utilizes S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction, which combines overall foil shielding with individual pair shielding to provide superior protection against external noise and internal crosstalk. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility and durability, while the gold-plated RJ45 connectors maintain signal integrity and resist corrosion for long-term reliability.
The cable is rated for 650 MHz bandwidth, exceeding the baseline 500 MHz requirement for Category 6a, which supports higher data rates and future-proofs your network. It is backward compatible with CAT5e, CAT6, and earlier standards, allowing seamless integration into existing setups. The environmentally friendly materials and lifetime limited warranty reflect Axiom's commitment to quality and sustainability.
Key Product Advantages
This cable delivers enhanced performance and durability for critical network connections. The S/FTP shielding significantly reduces signal degradation caused by electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for environments with high electronic noise or dense cabling. The gold-plated connectors ensure low resistance and stable connectivity, while the molded boot provides added protection against wear and tear.

Deployment / Use Cases
This CAT6A shielded patch cable is versatile for various network deployments. It is commonly used to connect switches, routers, servers, and workstations in office networks, data centers, and industrial settings. The shielding makes it particularly effective in areas with high electromagnetic interference, such as near power lines, machinery, or in densely packed server racks.
Ideal for supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, it can deliver both data and power to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. The 10-foot length provides flexibility for patching within racks or between nearby equipment, while the blue color aids in cable management and organization. It is also suitable for home labs, small businesses, and educational institutions requiring reliable high-speed connectivity.

FAQ
What is the difference between CAT6 and CAT6A cables?
CAT6A cables, like this Axiom model, support higher bandwidth (up to 650 MHz compared to 250 MHz for CAT6) and data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s over longer distances (up to 100 meters). They also feature enhanced shielding, such as S/FTP in this cable, to reduce interference, making them more suitable for high-performance networks and future-proof installations.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this CAT6A shielded patch cable is suitable for Power over Ethernet applications. Its 26 AWG conductors and robust construction can handle the power delivery required for devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, while maintaining data integrity. The shielding helps minimize interference in PoE setups.
What does S/FTP shielding mean, and why is it important?
S/FTP stands for Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair, which means the cable has an overall braided shield (S) and individual foil shields around each twisted pair (FTP). This dual-layer shielding provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable data transmission in environments with high electronic noise, such as data centers or industrial settings.
Is this cable backward compatible with older Ethernet standards?
Yes, this CAT6A cable is fully backward compatible with CAT5e, CAT6, and earlier Ethernet standards. You can use it to connect devices that support lower categories without issues, allowing for seamless upgrades in mixed network environments while leveraging the higher performance of CAT6A for future needs.
