Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable meets Category 6 specifications, delivering performance suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth network protocols. The 550 MHz bandwidth ensures stable data transmission with reduced crosstalk and interference, supporting network speeds up to 10 Gbps over shorter distances.
The cable utilizes stranded copper conductors rather than solid core, making it more flexible and resistant to breakage from repeated bending. This construction is ideal for patch cable applications where cables are frequently moved or rearranged. The gold-plated RJ45 contacts maintain reliable electrical connectivity while resisting oxidation over time.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom patch cable provides several advantages for network installations and maintenance. The combination of technical specifications and practical design features makes it a reliable choice for both professional IT environments and small office setups.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat6 cable?
This Axiom Cat6 patch cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) and can handle 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances up to approximately 55 meters. The 550 MHz bandwidth rating ensures reliable performance for high-speed network applications including data transfer, streaming, and network backups.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices?
Yes, this Cat6 patch cable supports Power over Ethernet applications. The 24 AWG stranded conductors are capable of carrying both data and power to devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled equipment. The gold-plated contacts ensure reliable electrical connections for both data transmission and power delivery.
What does 'non-booted' mean for the connectors?
Non-booted connectors lack the protective rubber or plastic boot that typically surrounds the connector latch. This design makes the connectors slimmer and easier to insert and remove in high-density patch panels where space is limited. While they offer less physical protection for the latch mechanism, they provide better accessibility in crowded networking environments.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This patch cable is designed for indoor use in controlled environments. While it features environmentally friendly construction, it does not have weatherproofing or UV-resistant properties required for outdoor installations. For outdoor applications, specifically rated outdoor Ethernet cables with appropriate jacketing should be used instead.
