Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable meets Category 6a specifications, providing enhanced performance with a 650 MHz bandwidth and Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) reduction for clear signal transmission. The 28 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility while maintaining electrical integrity over the full 60-foot length.
Full shielding protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring stable data transfer in electrically noisy environments. The snagless boot design prevents accidental disconnections and reduces strain on connector tabs during installation and maintenance.
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.
Key Product Advantages
The BENDnFLEX ultra-thin construction allows this cable to bend easily around corners and through cable management systems without kinking or performance loss. This flexibility simplifies installation in dense network setups and improves airflow in enclosed spaces.
Durability and Reliability
Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation for consistent conductivity, while the robust RJ-45 connectors withstand repeated insertions and removals. The stranded core enhances cable longevity in dynamic environments where movement is frequent.
- Gold contact plating

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this CAT6A 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 network applications, including large file transfers, video streaming, and data-intensive tasks, while maintaining reliable performance over its full 60-foot length.
How long is the cable, and is the length sufficient for typical office use?
The cable is 60 feet long (approximately 18.29 meters). This length is well-suited for most office environments, allowing connections between network switches and workstations, cross-rack links in data centers, or runs from wall ports to desks without requiring additional extenders or couplers.
Are the connectors on both ends of the cable the same type?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors. Each end has one RJ-45 connector, making it a standard patch cable for connecting network devices like computers, switches, and routers. The gold-plated contacts ensure a secure and durable connection.
Does this cable have shielding to protect against interference?
Yes, this cable is fully shielded. The shielding provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), which helps maintain signal integrity and stable data transmission in environments with electrical noise, such as near power cables or in dense server racks.
What does 'ultra-thin' mean for this patch cable?
The ultra-thin design refers to the cable's reduced diameter compared to standard patch cables. This BENDnFLEX construction allows for easier bending and routing in tight spaces, reduces cable bulk in management systems, and improves airflow in enclosed areas, without compromising performance or durability.
Is this cable compliant with environmental and government standards?
Yes, this cable is RoHS compliant, meaning it restricts hazardous substances, and is TAA compliant for government procurement. It is manufactured in the United States and comes with a lifetime limited warranty, ensuring it meets strict regulatory and quality requirements for business and institutional use.
