Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a cable supports high-speed data transfer up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 100 meters, making it suitable for demanding network applications. It uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction, which is effective for most office and data center environments without excessive electromagnetic interference.
The 28 AWG wire gauge contributes to the slim design without compromising performance. Key technical features include strain relief to enhance durability at connection points, flexibility for easy routing around obstacles, and snag-resistant boots that protect the connectors from wear and tear.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable offers several advantages for network deployments. The snagless molded boots eliminate the need for bootless designs that can catch on other cables or equipment, reducing installation time and preventing downtime. The slim construction allows for better cable management in high-density environments, improving airflow and organization.
Enhanced Durability
Strain relief features at the connector junctions minimize stress on the cable, extending its lifespan even with frequent plugging and unplugging.
- Reduces cable fatigue
- Maintains signal integrity
Color Coding
The bright yellow color makes it easy to identify and trace cables in complex network setups, aiding in troubleshooting and maintenance.
- Quick visual identification
- Simplifies cable management
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is versatile for various networking scenarios. It is commonly used in office environments to connect workstations to network switches or wall outlets, ensuring reliable internet and intranet access. In data centers, it serves as a patch cord for linking servers, storage devices, and networking hardware within racks or between adjacent equipment.
For home or small business networks, it provides a dependable connection for routers, modems, and gaming consoles. The 3-foot length is particularly useful for short runs where excess cable can create clutter, such as behind desks or in media centers.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this Cat6a cable?
This Category 6a Ethernet patch cable supports data transfer speeds up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbps) over distances up to 100 meters. It is designed for high-speed network applications, including Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBASE-T, making it suitable for demanding environments like data centers, offices, and home networks where fast and reliable connectivity is essential.
Are both ends of the cable RJ-45 male connectors?
Yes, both ends of the cable feature RJ-45 male connectors. Each end has one RJ-45 network male connector, providing a standard interface for connecting to devices like computers, switches, routers, and wall outlets. This configuration ensures compatibility with most Ethernet-enabled equipment without requiring adapters.
What does 'snagless' mean for this Ethernet cable?
Snagless refers to the molded boots on the connectors that are designed to prevent the cable from catching on other objects during installation or movement. These boots reduce the risk of accidental disconnections, connector damage, and cable snags in crowded setups, making installation easier and more reliable in high-density environments like server racks or office desks.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This cable is unshielded (UTP), meaning it does not have additional shielding layers around the twisted pairs. UTP cables are effective for most typical office and data center environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal. They offer a cost-effective and flexible solution for reliable network connections without the added bulk of shielding.
What is the advantage of the slim design?
The slim design reduces the cable's diameter and weight, improving flexibility and ease of routing through tight spaces. It enhances airflow in cable management systems, reduces clutter in high-density installations, and allows for better organization. This makes it ideal for environments where space is limited, such as behind desks, in server racks, or in cable trays.
Does this cable come with a warranty?
Yes, this cable includes a lifetime limited warranty from C2G. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, providing long-term reliability and assurance. It reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the cable's durability and performance, making it a dependable choice for critical network connections.
