Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 cable utilizes 28 AWG conductors with gold-plated RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, providing excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. It is designed to minimize near-end crosstalk (NEXT), which reduces signal interference and ensures clean, accurate data transmission across your network. The cable's construction supports stable performance up to 550 MHz, making it suitable for demanding networking tasks.
The ultra-thin jacket enhances flexibility, allowing for easier routing around corners and through cable trays without compromising durability. It is compatible with a wide range of network devices, offering plug-and-play connectivity for office, data center, and home network setups.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Product Color, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What is the length of this Axiom CAT6 patch cable?
This cable is 5 feet long, which is equivalent to 1.52 meters. It is designed for short-distance connections within network setups, such as linking devices in close proximity like computers to switches or routers in office environments.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
It features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, each with gold plating for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance. This configuration provides a secure, plug-and-play connection for standard network devices.
What does 'minimized near-end crosstalk (NEXT)' mean?
Minimized near-end crosstalk refers to the cable's design that reduces electromagnetic interference between wires at the connector end. This ensures clearer signal transmission, which is crucial for maintaining data integrity and performance in high-speed networks like Gigabit Ethernet.
Is this cable suitable for use in government or enterprise environments?
Yes, this cable is TAA compliant, meaning it meets the Trade Agreements Act requirements for use in U.S. government procurement. It is also RoHS compliant, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances, making it suitable for enterprise and commercial applications.
What is the advantage of the snagless boot design?
The snagless boot prevents the cable from accidentally unplugging when it is pulled or snagged on other objects. This feature enhances reliability by reducing disconnections and strain on the connectors, which is especially useful in crowded network racks or during maintenance.
Can this cable support Gigabit Ethernet speeds?
Yes, as a Category 6 cable with a 550 MHz bandwidth, it fully supports Gigabit Ethernet (up to 1000 Mbps) and is backward compatible with lower categories like CAT5e. It is engineered for stable performance in high-data-rate applications common in modern networks.
