Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable adheres to industry standards for performance, supporting bandwidth up to 550 MHz. It uses 24 AWG copper conductors in an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) configuration, which balances flexibility with reliable signal integrity for typical office and data center environments.
The connectors are precision-molded with gold-plated contacts to maintain low resistance and ensure consistent electrical performance over time. The cable is environmentally friendly, reflecting Axiom's commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines robust construction with user-friendly features to enhance network reliability and ease of use. The snagless molded boot prevents the boot from catching on ports or other cables, reducing installation time and minimizing wear.
Durable Connectors
Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer excellent conductivity and resistance to oxidation, ensuring long-term performance in various environmental conditions.
- Corrosion-resistant
- Low insertion loss
- Compatible with standard RJ-45 ports
Strain Relief Design
The molded boot integrates strain relief to protect the cable termination points from bending and pulling stresses, extending the cable's operational life.
- Prevents wire breakage
- Reduces maintenance needs
- Ideal for high-traffic areas
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is versatile for connecting network devices such as computers, printers, switches, routers, and access points in office networks, server rooms, and home offices. Its 14-foot length provides flexibility for routing around desks, through cable management systems, or across small to medium-sized rooms.
Common applications include patching between wall outlets and devices, linking equipment in network racks, and supporting temporary setups for events or testing. The red color makes it easy to trace cables in dense installations, improving troubleshooting efficiency.
Office Networking
Connect workstations to network switches or routers for reliable internet and intranet access, supporting daily business operations without signal degradation.
Data Center Use
Use in server racks to link servers, storage, and networking hardware, where the snagless boot and durable build handle frequent reconfigurations.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this CAT6 cable?
This CAT6 patch cable supports bandwidth up to 550 MHz, which is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) and higher-speed network applications. It ensures reliable data transmission for most business and home networking needs, including streaming, file transfers, and online collaboration.
Are the connectors on this cable shielded?
No, this cable uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction, meaning it does not have additional shielding around the connectors or wires. UTP is effective for typical office and home environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal, offering a balance of performance and flexibility.
What is the purpose of the snagless molded boot?
The snagless molded boot prevents the boot from catching on network ports, patch panels, or other cables during installation and removal. This design reduces the risk of damage to the cable or equipment, simplifies cable management, and extends the cable's lifespan in high-use scenarios.
Can this cable be used for outdoor installations?
This cable is designed for indoor use in controlled environments like offices, data centers, and homes. It does not have weather-resistant or UV-protected jackets, so it is not recommended for outdoor or harsh industrial applications where exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures could degrade performance.
