Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a cable operates at 650 MHz, exceeding the performance requirements for most modern network applications. It meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for Category 6a, ensuring backward compatibility with Cat5e and Cat6 networks while delivering superior performance for 10GBASE-T Ethernet.
The cable's construction includes unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design, which is effective for typical office and data center environments. The gold-plated contacts on both RJ45 connectors minimize signal loss and maintain consistent connectivity over time.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines high performance with practical durability features. The booted and molded strain relief protects the connector joints from physical stress, extending the cable's lifespan in environments where cables are frequently moved or adjusted.
Enhanced Durability
The molded boot design provides extra protection at the connector points, preventing cable damage from bending or pulling. This makes the cable ideal for patch panels, switches, and wall outlets where frequent changes occur.
- Booted strain relief
- Molded construction
- Reduces connector failure
High-Speed Performance
With support for 10 Gbit/s data transfer and 650 MHz bandwidth, this cable handles high-throughput applications like video streaming, large file transfers, and virtualization without bottlenecks.
- 10 Gbit/s capable
- 650 MHz bandwidth
- Backward compatible
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat6a patch cable is versatile for various network setups. It is commonly used to connect computers, printers, IP phones, and other network devices to switches, routers, or patch panels in office environments, data centers, and educational institutions.
Its 6-foot length makes it ideal for short-run connections within server racks, workstations, or between adjacent networking equipment. The white color blends well with light-colored walls and furniture, supporting clean cable management in visible areas.
Office Networking
Connect workstations to network switches or wall outlets for reliable internet and intranet access. The cable's performance supports VoIP phones, video conferencing, and cloud-based applications.
Data Center Patching
Use in server racks to link servers, storage devices, and network switches. The high data transfer rate ensures efficient data flow between critical infrastructure components.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?
This Axiom Cat6a patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabit per second). It is designed for high-speed network applications, including 10GBASE-T Ethernet, making it suitable for environments requiring fast data transmission like data centers, offices with heavy network traffic, and multimedia streaming setups.
Are both ends of the cable the same type of connector?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ45 male connectors. Each end has one RJ45 network male connector, making it a standard patch cable for connecting network devices to switches, routers, or patch panels. The connectors are gold-plated to ensure optimal conductivity and reduce corrosion over time.
What does 'booted and molded' mean for this cable?
Booted and molded refers to the protective design at the connector points. The molded boot is a reinforced sleeve that provides strain relief, preventing the cable from bending too sharply at the connector and reducing the risk of wire breakage. This enhances durability, especially in environments where cables are frequently plugged, unplugged, or moved.
Is this cable backward compatible with older network standards?
Yes, this Category 6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks. It can be used in existing infrastructure to upgrade performance without replacing entire cabling systems. However, to achieve the full 10 Gbit/s speed, all components in the network path should support Cat6a or higher standards.
