Product Features
Technical Overview
Built to Category 6a specifications, this cable operates at 650 MHz bandwidth and maintains 10 Gb/s performance up to 100 meters when installed as part of a structured cabling system. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility for patch panel applications while maintaining electrical performance standards.
The cable's construction includes multiple layers of protection: the molded boot prevents cable bend radius violations at the connector interface, while the stranded conductors resist breakage from repeated flexing. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts (50µ inch) ensure low insertion loss and stable connectivity across thousands of mating cycles.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines robust construction with performance-oriented design elements that deliver reliable connectivity in commercial and data center environments.
Durability Engineering
The molded boot and strain relief system protect the critical connection point where cables most frequently fail, extending the cable's operational lifespan in high-usage scenarios.
- Molded boot prevents jacket pullback
- Strain relief distributes bending stress
- Stranded conductors resist fatigue
Performance Assurance
Category 6a certification ensures backward compatibility with previous Ethernet standards while providing headroom for future network upgrades and high-bandwidth applications.
- 650 MHz bandwidth
- 10Gb/s at 100m
- Reduced crosstalk and interference
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is optimized for patch panel applications where reliability and performance are critical. The 7-foot length makes it ideal for connecting network equipment in racks, cabinets, and workstations where excess cable management can be challenging.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting switches to patch panels in network closets, linking servers to top-of-rack switches in data centers, and providing workstation connections in office environments. The orange color facilitates quick identification in dense cable bundles, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance procedures.
Data Center Applications
Connect servers, storage arrays, and network switches in rack-mounted configurations where consistent 10Gb/s performance is required for virtualization and cloud infrastructure.
Office Network Infrastructure
Provide reliable connections between wall outlets and desktop computers, VoIP phones, and wireless access points in commercial office environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed this cable supports?
This Category 6a cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 gigabits per second (10Gb/s) when used as part of a properly installed structured cabling system. It maintains this performance up to the full 100-meter channel length specified in TIA/EIA standards for Cat6a cabling.
Are both ends of this cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. Each end has one RJ45 connector, making this a straight-through patch cable suitable for connecting network devices to switches, routers, or patch panels in standard Ethernet configurations.
What advantages does the molded boot provide?
The molded strain relief boot protects the critical junction where the cable meets the connector, preventing the cable jacket from pulling back and exposing internal wires. This design distributes bending stress away from the connection point, reducing failure rates in applications where cables are frequently moved or repositioned.
Is this cable backward compatible with older network equipment?
Yes, this Cat6a cable is fully backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 network equipment. It will automatically negotiate to the highest speed supported by both connected devices, making it suitable for mixed-environment deployments where equipment of different generations must interoperate.
