Product Features
Technical Overview
Built to Category 6a standards, this cable exceeds the performance requirements of previous generations, offering improved crosstalk and noise reduction. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility and robust conductivity, supporting high-speed data transmission over the full 5-foot length without signal degradation.
The RJ45 connectors are engineered for a secure fit in standard network ports, with gold plating on the contacts to maintain signal integrity and reduce oxidation over time. This cable is backward compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, and lower categories, ensuring versatility across existing network infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this cable?
This Axiom Cat6a patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabits per second). It is designed for high-speed networking applications, including 10GBASE-T Ethernet, and operates at a bandwidth of 650 MHz to ensure reliable performance with minimal signal loss over its 5-foot length.
Are the connectors on both ends of the cable the same?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ45 male connectors. Each end has one RJ-45 Network - Male connector with gold plating, making this a standard patch cable for connecting network devices like computers, switches, or routers to Ethernet ports without requiring adapters.
Is this cable backward compatible with older network equipment?
Absolutely. This Cat6a cable is fully backward compatible with Category 5e, Category 6, and lower standards. You can use it in existing networks to upgrade performance while maintaining connectivity with older devices, ensuring seamless integration without hardware changes.
What does the molded boot feature provide?
The molded boot is a protective sleeve at the connector junction that adds strain relief and prevents the cable from bending sharply at the plug. This enhances durability, reduces wear from frequent insertion and removal, and helps maintain signal integrity by protecting the internal wires from damage.
