Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable meets Category 6 specifications, supporting data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps and frequencies up to 550 MHz. The 24 AWG copper conductors ensure stable performance over the full 5-foot length, making it suitable for connecting switches, routers, computers, and other network devices.
The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in typical office environments. The gold-plated RJ-45 connectors maintain consistent contact quality, while the environmentally friendly materials comply with RoHS standards.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom patch cable combines practical design features with reliable performance for everyday networking needs. The snagless molded boot prevents the retention clip from catching on other cables or equipment, reducing installation time and potential damage.
Durable Construction
The molded boot and strain relief system protect the connector junction from bending and pulling stress, extending the cable's lifespan in high-traffic areas.
- Snagless design prevents clip snagging
- Strain relief reduces wire fatigue
- Molded boot enhances connector protection
Reliable Connectivity
Gold-plated contacts ensure consistent electrical conductivity and resistance to oxidation, maintaining signal integrity for Gigabit Ethernet applications.
- Gold plating for corrosion resistance
- 550 MHz frequency rating
- 24 AWG copper conductors
Deployment / Use Cases
This 5-foot CAT6 patch cable is ideal for short-distance connections within network racks, between wall jacks and devices, or in office workstations. The standard length makes it perfect for connecting computers to network switches, printers to network ports, or linking networking equipment in server cabinets.
Common applications include connecting desktop PCs to office networks, linking VoIP phones to network drops, extending connections from patch panels to switches, and providing temporary network access during equipment testing or reconfiguration. The gray color helps with cable identification in managed environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this CAT6 cable?
This Axiom CAT6 patch cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps. With its 550 MHz frequency rating and 24 AWG copper conductors, it provides reliable performance for high-speed network applications including data transfer, video streaming, and VoIP communications.
Are both ends of this cable male RJ-45 connectors?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors. Each end has one RJ-45 network connector with gold-plated contacts, making this cable suitable for standard patch cable applications where you need to connect network devices to switches, routers, or wall jacks.
What does 'snagless molded boot' mean for this cable?
The snagless molded boot is a protective cover over the RJ-45 connector that prevents the retention clip from catching on other cables, equipment, or rack components during installation or removal. This design reduces the risk of damaged clips and makes cable management easier in crowded network environments.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It does not have additional foil or braid shielding, which makes it more flexible and cost-effective for typical office environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal. The twisted pair design itself provides adequate noise reduction for most applications.
