Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a patch cable meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards, supporting frequencies up to 650 MHz for reduced crosstalk and enhanced signal integrity. The shielded construction minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring stable performance in electrically noisy environments.
The 28 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility without sacrificing durability, and the gray color-coded jacket aids in organization and identification within network racks or cable runs.
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.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this Cat6a cable?
This Axiom Cat6a patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-speed Ethernet applications including 10GBASE-T networks. It maintains this performance over its full 10-foot length with shielded construction to minimize interference.
Are both ends of this patch cable RJ-45 male connectors?
Yes, both ends feature RJ-45 male connectors, each with gold-plated contacts for reliable connectivity. This configuration is standard for connecting network devices like switches, routers, and computers in typical Ethernet setups.
Does this cable have shielding to reduce interference?
Yes, the cable is shielded, which helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. This shielding ensures stable signal transmission, especially in environments with multiple cables or electrical noise, supporting consistent 10 Gbit/s performance.
What does 'snagless boot' mean on this patch cable?
The snagless boot is a protective cover over the RJ-45 connector latch that prevents it from catching on other cables or equipment during installation or removal. This design reduces the risk of latch damage and accidental disconnections, enhancing durability in frequent-use scenarios.
Is this Cat6a cable TAA compliant?
Yes, this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, meaning it meets sourcing requirements for U.S. government contracts. It is manufactured in the United States with environmentally friendly materials, making it suitable for federal, state, and educational procurement.
What warranty comes with this Axiom patch cable?
Axiom provides a lifetime limited warranty for this Cat6a patch cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty reflects the product's durability and reliability for long-term use in business and institutional network environments.
