Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered to meet Category 6a specifications, this cable operates at frequencies up to 650 MHz, supporting 10 Gbit/s Ethernet over distances up to 100 meters. The 28 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility without compromising performance, while the ultra-thin jacket reduces bulk for improved cable management. Near End Cross Talk (NEXT) mitigation ensures minimal signal degradation in high-density installations.
The RJ-45 connectors are molded with snagless boots to prevent accidental disconnection and damage to the locking tab. Gold plating on the contacts enhances conductivity and longevity, reducing oxidation over time. Shielding throughout the cable construction guards against external interference, maintaining data integrity in noisy electrical environments.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines high-speed performance with practical design features that simplify deployment and enhance reliability. The ultra-thin and flexible construction allows for easy routing in congested network racks or under desks, reducing strain on connectors and improving airflow. The snagless boot design prevents tangling and accidental unplugging, which is critical in dynamic office or data center settings.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This Category 6a cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-speed Ethernet networks. It operates at frequencies up to 650 MHz, ensuring reliable performance for bandwidth-intensive applications like video conferencing, data backups, and server connections over distances up to 100 meters.
Are both ends of the cable identical in terms of connectors?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors, each with gold plating and snagless boots. This symmetrical design simplifies connections between network devices such as switches, routers, and computers, providing consistent performance and ease of use without requiring specific orientation.
Does this cable include shielding to reduce interference?
Yes, the cable is fully shielded to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI). This shielding helps maintain signal integrity in environments with multiple electronic devices, reducing data errors and ensuring stable network performance for critical operations.
What is the advantage of the ultra-thin design?
The ultra-thin design improves flexibility and reduces bulk, making the cable easier to route through congested network racks, under carpets, or in cable trays. It enhances airflow in tight spaces and minimizes strain on connectors, contributing to easier installation and better long-term durability in high-density setups.
Is this cable compliant with industry standards for government use?
Yes, this cable is TAA compliant, meeting the Trade Agreements Act requirements for government procurement in the United States. It is also RoHS compliant, restricting hazardous substances, and comes with a lifetime warranty, ensuring it meets rigorous standards for reliability and environmental safety in public-sector deployments.
How does the snagless boot feature benefit installation?
The snagless boots protect the connector locking tabs from accidental snagging or breakage during installation and daily use. This design prevents disconnections and damage, especially in crowded network environments where cables are frequently moved or adjusted, enhancing overall reliability and reducing maintenance needs.
