Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a cable operates at 650 MHz frequency, exceeding the 500 MHz requirement for Category 6a specifications, which ensures reliable performance for 10GBASE-T Ethernet applications. The cable construction includes stranded copper conductors rather than solid core, making it more flexible and better suited for patch cord applications where frequent movement may occur.
The RJ45 connectors feature 50-micron gold plating on the contacts, which provides excellent conductivity and resistance to oxidation over time. The molded boot design integrates strain relief directly into the connector housing, preventing cable pull-out and reducing stress on the termination points. This combination of materials and construction results in a cable that maintains signal integrity while withstanding the physical demands of daily networking use.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom patch cable delivers several advantages for network installations. The Cat6a rating ensures backward compatibility with Cat5e and Cat6 networks while providing headroom for future 10 Gigabit Ethernet deployments. The molded boot design represents a significant durability improvement over standard patch cables, extending the cable's service life in environments where connections are frequently changed.
Enhanced Durability
The molded boot provides superior strain relief that protects the connector-cable junction from damage during installation and routine maintenance.
- Prevents cable pull-out
- Reduces connector stress
- Extends service life
Performance Assurance
With 650 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gbit/s capability, this cable exceeds standard Cat6a requirements for reliable high-speed data transmission.
- 650 MHz frequency
- 10 Gbit/s data rate
- Gold-plated contacts
Deployment / Use Cases
This 5-foot Cat6a patch cable is ideally suited for connecting network equipment within server racks, network cabinets, and workstations. Its length makes it perfect for linking switches to patch panels, connecting routers to modems, or joining servers to top-of-rack switches where minimal cable management is desired.
Common deployment scenarios include data center environments where high-density patching is required, office networks connecting workstations to wall outlets, and audio/video installations where network connectivity supports streaming equipment. The cable's flexibility allows for neat routing in confined spaces, while the black color maintains a professional appearance in visible installations.
Data Center Patching
Connect switches to servers or storage devices within the same rack or adjacent racks using these reliable patch cables.
Office Network Connections
Link computers, printers, and VoIP phones to network switches in commercial office environments with consistent performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This Axiom Cat6a patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabit per second). This makes it suitable for 10GBASE-T Ethernet applications, providing sufficient bandwidth for high-speed network connections in data centers, enterprise networks, and demanding multimedia environments. The cable's 650 MHz frequency rating ensures reliable performance at this speed over distances up to 100 meters.
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 symmetrical design makes the cable ideal for standard Ethernet connections between network devices such as connecting a computer to a switch, a router to a modem, or linking switches within a rack. The connectors are designed to snap securely into standard RJ45 ports.
What advantages does the molded boot provide?
The molded boot offers several important advantages: it provides superior strain relief to prevent the cable from pulling out of the connector, protects the connector-cable junction from damage during frequent plugging and unplugging, and extends the cable's service life in environments where connections are regularly changed. This design feature is particularly valuable in data centers and network closets where patch cables experience more physical stress than permanent installations.
Is this cable backward compatible with older network equipment?
Yes, this Cat6a cable is fully backward compatible with Category 5e, Category 6, and other older Ethernet standards. You can use it to connect devices that support slower speeds like 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet or 1 Gbit/s Gigabit Ethernet. The cable will automatically negotiate to the highest speed supported by both connected devices, making it a future-proof investment that works with both current and legacy network equipment.
