FAQ
What is the length of this Axiom CAT6 patch cable?
This Axiom patch cable measures 8 feet in total length, which is approximately 2.44 meters. This length provides sufficient reach for connecting network devices within the same rack, between adjacent workstations, or from wall jacks to computers in typical office environments.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends of this cable feature standard RJ-45 male connectors. Each end has a single RJ-45 connector with gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission. The connectors are non-booted, meaning they lack the protective rubber boot that some cables feature, making them easier to insert and remove in tight spaces.
What does 'non-booted' mean for this patch cable?
Non-booted refers to the connector design that lacks a protective rubber boot covering the connector latch. This design makes the connectors more compact and easier to insert and remove in densely populated patch panels or switch ports. While booted connectors offer some strain relief, non-booted connectors provide better accessibility in tight spaces.
What network standards does this CAT6 cable support?
This Category 6 cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and other high-speed network standards. With 550MHz bandwidth, it provides performance headroom for current and future network requirements. The cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 equipment while offering improved performance for modern network infrastructure.
