Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable meets Category 6a specifications, certified for frequencies up to 650 MHz and supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet over distances up to 100 meters. The 28 AWG stranded copper conductors enhance flexibility without compromising performance. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors reduce oxidation and ensure consistent electrical connectivity over time.
The snagless boot design prevents the retention clip from snagging on adjacent cables or ports, simplifying installations in dense configurations. Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) performance is optimized to minimize signal interference between wire pairs. The cable is constructed with materials compliant with RoHS standards, reflecting environmental responsibility. TAA compliance ensures eligibility for U.S. government procurement, and the lifetime warranty underscores long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this CAT6A patch cable?
This Axiom CAT6A patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabit per second). It is designed for high-speed network applications, including 10GBASE-T Ethernet, ensuring efficient performance for bandwidth-intensive tasks like large file transfers, video streaming, and server communications. The cable meets Category 6a specifications, which provide the necessary bandwidth and reduced crosstalk for reliable 10 Gbit/s operation over short distances.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of this patch cable feature RJ-45 male connectors. Each connector is gold-plated to enhance conductivity and resist corrosion, ensuring durable and stable connections. The snagless boot design protects the retention clip from snagging on other cables or equipment, making installation and removal easier in crowded network environments. This standard connector type ensures compatibility with most network devices, such as switches, routers, and computers.
Is this cable shielded, and why is that important?
Yes, this cable is shielded. Shielding provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which can degrade signal quality and cause data errors. In environments with multiple electronic devices or high electrical noise, such as data centers or industrial settings, shielding helps maintain data integrity and consistent performance. This feature is particularly beneficial for maintaining the high-speed capabilities of CAT6A cables over their rated distances.
What does 'ultra-thin' mean for this patch cable?
The 'ultra-thin' designation refers to the cable's reduced diameter compared to standard patch cables. This design improves flexibility and makes the cable easier to route in tight spaces, such as dense server racks or cable management trays. Despite its thin profile, the cable maintains full CAT6A performance specifications, including 10 Gbit/s speed and shielding. This feature enhances airflow and organization in network installations, reducing clutter and improving maintenance access.
What certifications or compliances does this cable have?
This cable is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning it meets environmental standards by limiting the use of certain hazardous materials. It is also TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for procurement by U.S. government agencies and other entities requiring TAA-certified products. Additionally, the cable is manufactured in the United States and comes with a lifetime warranty, underscoring its quality and reliability for long-term use.
What is the warranty on this Axiom patch cable?
This Axiom patch cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, providing assurance of durability and performance. It reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the cable's construction and reliability, making it a cost-effective choice for business and institutional networks where long-term dependability is essential.
