FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this cable?
This Axiom CAT6A cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-speed Ethernet applications such as 10GBASE-T networks. It is designed to handle bandwidth-intensive tasks like data center operations and large file transfers without performance degradation.
How long is the cable, and is the length sufficient for my setup?
The cable is 40 feet (12.19 meters) long, which provides flexibility for connecting devices across moderate distances, such as between network racks or across office floors. This length is ideal for patching in server rooms or extending connectivity to remote workstations without requiring additional extenders.
Are the connectors shielded and what type of plating do they have?
Yes, the cable features full shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference, and the RJ45 connectors have gold-plated contacts. Gold plating enhances conductivity and resists corrosion, ensuring stable connections and longevity in various environmental conditions.
What does 'snagless boot' mean and why is it beneficial?
A snagless boot is a protective cover on the RJ45 connector that prevents the latch from catching on other cables or objects during installation. This design reduces the risk of damage to the connector and minimizes accidental disconnections, making it easier to manage cables in dense network setups.
Is this cable TAA compliant and where is it manufactured?
Yes, this cable is TAA compliant, meaning it meets the Trade Agreements Act requirements for U.S. government procurement. It is manufactured in the United States, ensuring quality standards and supporting domestic production for regulatory and sourcing preferences.
What warranty does this Axiom cable come with?
