Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable meets industry standards for performance, ensuring compatibility with network equipment that requires Category 6 cabling. The 20-foot length provides ample reach for connecting devices across typical office or server room setups, reducing the need for additional extenders or adapters. The RJ45 male connectors feature a standard 8P8C configuration, with gold plating on the contacts to minimize corrosion and maintain signal integrity over time.
The cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper wires, which offer a balance of durability and flexibility compared to solid-core alternatives. This makes it suitable for patch applications where the cable may be bent or repositioned frequently. The non-booted connector design eliminates the protective boot, allowing for easier insertion in tight spaces and reducing snagging in crowded network racks.

FAQ
What is the length of this Axiom CAT6 patch cable?
This cable measures 20 feet (approximately 6.10 meters) in length, providing ample reach for connecting network devices in typical office or server room environments. It is designed as a patch cable, making it suitable for direct connections between equipment like computers, switches, and routers without the need for additional extenders.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of the cable feature standard RJ45 male connectors. Each end has one RJ45 network male connector, making it a straight-through patch cable ideal for connecting similar devices. The connectors use gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission and reduce corrosion over time.
Is this cable suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks?
Yes, as a Category 6 cable rated for up to 550 MHz, it fully supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and other high-speed network standards. The 24 AWG stranded copper construction and gold-plated contacts help maintain signal integrity, ensuring stable performance for data-intensive applications in business networks.
What does 'non-booted' mean for this patch cable?
Non-booted refers to the absence of a protective boot or cover over the RJ45 connector. This design makes the connector slimmer and easier to insert and remove from network ports, especially in crowded patch panels or tight spaces. It reduces snagging and allows for quicker cable management compared to booted alternatives.
