Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable meets Category 6 performance standards with minimized Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) to ensure clear signal integrity and reduced interference in high-density network setups. The 28 AWG stranded copper conductors balance flexibility with durability, while the gold-plated RJ45 contacts maintain consistent electrical connectivity.
The cable's 3-foot length (0.91 meters) is ideal for short-run connections between switches, routers, computers, and other network equipment. It is fully compatible with 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet networks and backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 infrastructure.
Key Product Advantages
The BENDnFLEX ultra-thin construction allows for easier cable management and improved airflow in racks and enclosures, while maintaining Cat6 performance. The snagless boot design prevents latch breakage during installation and removal, extending the cable's lifespan in frequently reconfigured environments.
Enhanced Signal Integrity
Minimized Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) reduces electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable data transmission even in cable bundles or near power sources.
- Gold-plated contacts for reliable connectivity
- 550 MHz frequency rating for high-bandwidth applications
Durability & Compliance
Manufactured in the United States with environmentally friendly materials and backed by a lifetime limited warranty, this cable meets TAA compliance requirements for government and institutional procurement.
- TAA compliant for government contracts
- Lifetime warranty for long-term reliability
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat6 patch cable is designed for connecting network devices in various professional and commercial settings. Its 3-foot length makes it perfect for patch panel to switch connections, workstation to wall jack links, or connecting peripherals in server rooms and office networks.

FAQ
What is the length of this Axiom Cat6 patch cable?
This Axiom patch cable measures 3 feet (0.91 meters) in length, making it ideal for short-distance connections between network devices such as switches, routers, computers, and wall jacks in office, data center, or home network environments.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of the cable feature RJ45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. This RJ45-to-RJ45 configuration is standard for Ethernet networking and provides reliable connectivity for 10/100/1000BASE-T networks with enhanced corrosion resistance and signal transmission quality.
What does 'snagless boot' mean on this patch cable?
The snagless boot is a protective cover over the RJ45 connector latch that prevents the latch from catching on other cables or equipment during installation or removal. This design reduces the risk of latch breakage and accidental disconnections, especially in crowded patch panels or frequently reconfigured network setups.
Is this Cat6 cable backward compatible with older network standards?
Yes, this Category 6 patch cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 network equipment and infrastructure. It will work with any device supporting 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet standards while providing the enhanced performance and reduced crosstalk benefits of Cat6 specifications when used with compatible equipment.
