FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat6 cable?
This Axiom Cat6 patch cable supports data transfer frequencies up to 550 MHz, which is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet (up to 1 Gbps) and other high-speed network applications. It meets Category 6 standards for performance in office and data center environments.
Are both ends of the cable male RJ-45 connectors?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors, making it a standard patch cable for connecting devices like computers, switches, or routers. Each end has gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable connectivity and corrosion resistance.
What does 'snagless molded boot' mean?
The snagless molded boot is a protective cover over the RJ-45 connector that prevents the cable from catching on other objects during installation or movement. It provides strain relief to reduce wear on the connection points and helps avoid accidental disconnections in tight spaces.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, which means it does not have additional foil or braid shielding around the wires. UTP design is common for patch cables in typical office environments, as it reduces crosstalk and is more flexible and cost-effective.
