Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6A patch cable utilizes 28 AWG stranded conductors with gold-plated contacts to maintain signal integrity and reduce corrosion. The cable is fully shielded to minimize crosstalk and external interference, supporting stable 10 Gbit/s Ethernet performance over its 2-foot length. The BENDnFLEX design incorporates an ultra-thin jacket that enhances flexibility without compromising durability, making it suitable for high-density installations.
The snagless boot design on each RJ-45 connector prevents latch damage during installation and removal, extending the cable's lifespan. Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) performance is optimized to meet CAT6A specifications, ensuring reliable data transmission in environments with multiple active connections.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this CAT6A cable?
This Axiom CAT6A BENDnFLEX patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. It is designed to handle high-speed network traffic, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit applications in business environments where bandwidth demands are significant.
How does the snagless boot design benefit installation?
The snagless boots on the RJ-45 connectors prevent the latch from catching on other cables or equipment during insertion and removal. This reduces the risk of damage to the connector latch, extends the cable's lifespan, and simplifies cable management in dense network setups.
Is this cable shielded, and why is that important?
Yes, this cable is fully shielded. Shielding protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, which can degrade signal quality and cause data errors. This is especially important in environments with many electronic devices or long cable runs near power sources.
What are the advantages of the ultra-thin cable design?
The ultra-thin design increases flexibility, making the cable easier to route through tight spaces like server racks and cable trays. It also reduces bulk and improves airflow in confined areas, which helps maintain optimal operating temperatures for network equipment.
Can this cable be used for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
While the cable supports standard Ethernet data transmission, its 28 AWG conductors and CAT6A rating make it suitable for PoE applications. However, for high-power PoE setups, verify compatibility with your specific devices to ensure safe and efficient power delivery.
What warranty does this Axiom patch cable come with?
This cable is backed by a lifetime limited warranty from Axiom. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, providing long-term assurance of quality and reliability for professional networking installations.
