Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 6a patch cable meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for performance and construction. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors provide excellent conductivity while maintaining cable flexibility. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure reliable electrical connections with minimal signal loss across the 650MHz frequency range.
The cable's construction includes molded boots at both connector ends that provide strain relief and protect the cable-to-connector interface. This design prevents conductor breakage from bending or pulling, extending the cable's service life in active networking environments.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom patch cable combines performance-grade specifications with practical design features for professional networking installations. The Category 6a rating ensures backward compatibility with Cat5e and Cat6 systems while providing headroom for future network upgrades.
High-Speed Performance
Supports 10 Gbit/s data transfer rates up to 55 meters, making it suitable for 10GBASE-T applications in server rooms, network switches, and high-performance workstations.
- 650MHz bandwidth
- 10 Gbit/s capable
- Backward compatible
Durable Construction
Features molded strain-relief boots that protect the connector junctions from damage during installation and frequent use in patch panel environments.
- Strain relief design
- Stranded conductors

Deployment / Use Cases
This 3-foot patch cable is ideal for short-run connections in structured cabling systems. Its length makes it perfect for connecting network equipment in rack-mounted configurations, linking switches to patch panels, or connecting wall outlets to desktop devices.
Common deployment scenarios include data center server-to-switch connections, office network closet installations, home theater network setups, and PoE device connections for security cameras or wireless access points. The white color provides visual organization in multi-cable installations and blends well with light-colored equipment and walls.
Data Center Applications
Connect servers to top-of-rack switches or link patch panels to network equipment in standard 19-inch racks. The 3-foot length minimizes cable clutter while providing sufficient reach for adjacent rack units.
Office Networking
Link wall outlets to computers, connect switches in network closets, or extend connections between networking devices. The Category 6a rating ensures reliable performance for voice, data, and video applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this cable?
This Category 6a patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. With its 650MHz bandwidth rating, it can handle 10GBASE-T Ethernet connections at distances up to 55 meters, making it suitable for high-speed networking applications including server connections, network backbone links, and performance workstation setups.
Are both ends of this cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ45 male connectors. Each end has one RJ45 network connector with gold-plated contacts. This male-to-male configuration is standard for patch cables used to connect network devices to switches, routers, or patch panels in structured cabling systems.
What is the advantage of the molded boots on this patch cable?
The molded strain-relief boots provide mechanical protection where the cable meets the connector. This design prevents bending stress from damaging the internal conductors, extends the cable's lifespan in environments with frequent handling, and maintains reliable electrical connections. The boots are particularly valuable in patch panel installations where cables are frequently inserted and removed.
Can this cable be used with Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices?
Yes, this Category 6a patch cable is suitable for Power over Ethernet applications. The 24 AWG stranded conductors can carry both data and power for PoE devices such as wireless access points, security cameras, VoIP phones, and IoT devices. The gold-plated contacts ensure reliable power delivery alongside data transmission.
