FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this cable?
This Axiom CAT6A patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. It is designed for high-speed network applications, including 10GBASE-T Ethernet, ensuring efficient performance for bandwidth-intensive tasks like large file transfers, video streaming, and data center operations.
How long is the cable and what are its connectors?
The cable is 6 feet (1.83 meters) long. Both ends feature RJ-45 male connectors with gold plating for durable, corrosion-resistant connections. This configuration is standard for patch cables, making it compatible with most network devices such as switches, routers, and computers.
Does this cable have shielding?
Yes, this cable includes shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI). This helps maintain signal integrity and stable data transmission in environments with potential interference from other electronic equipment or cabling.
What does 'snagless boot' mean?
A snagless boot is a protective cover on the connector that prevents the retention clip from catching on other cables or objects during installation or removal. This feature reduces the risk of accidental disconnections, port damage, and simplifies cable management in tight spaces.
Is this cable environmentally compliant?
Yes, this cable is Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant, meaning it meets standards limiting the use of specific hazardous materials. It is also TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and institutional procurement where trade agreement requirements apply.
What warranty does this cable come with?
