FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this cable?
This Cat6a cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s, suitable for 10GBASE-T Ethernet applications. It operates at frequencies up to 650 MHz, ensuring reliable performance for high-speed network connections in data centers or office environments.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
The cable features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, each with gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance. This standard connector type ensures compatibility with most network devices like switches, routers, and computers.
Is this cable shielded?
Yes, this cable includes full shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI), which helps maintain signal integrity in environments with electrical noise. Shielding is particularly beneficial in dense cable installations or near power sources.
What is the length of the cable in meters?
The cable is 80 feet long, which converts to approximately 24.38 meters. This length provides flexibility for longer runs between network equipment, making it suitable for setups that require distance between devices.
Does this cable come with a warranty?
Yes, Axiom provides a lifetime limited warranty for this patch cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty reflects the product's durability and compliance with industry standards for network cabling.
What does 'snagless' mean for this cable?
Snagless refers to the boot design on the connectors, which protects the latch mechanism from catching on other cables or objects during installation. This feature reduces the risk of accidental disconnections or damage, improving reliability in busy network environments.
