Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a patch cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network devices and applications. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 328 feet (100 meters), delivering fast data transmission for bandwidth-intensive tasks. The cable utilizes 26 AWG stranded conductors with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) insulation, providing flexibility and reliable performance in patch panel and direct-connect scenarios.
The four twisted pairs and eight conductors maintain signal integrity across the entire length, while the molded strain relief enhances durability at connection points. Standard non-rated jacket construction ensures the cable meets basic flammability requirements for typical indoor use. Gold-plated connectors offer superior conductivity and resistance to oxidation, maintaining consistent performance over repeated insertions and removals.
Key Product Advantages
This Cat6a patch cable delivers several distinct advantages for network deployments. The snagless boot design prevents connector latch damage in crowded patch panels, reducing maintenance costs and improving reliability. Unshielded construction simplifies installation while maintaining effective interference protection through twisted pair technology.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat6a cable?
This Cat6a Ethernet patch cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 328 feet (100 meters). It delivers high-bandwidth performance for demanding applications including large file transfers, video streaming, and network backups while maintaining low latency and reliable data transmission.
What does 'snagless' mean for this patch cable?
The snagless design features a protective boot that covers the RJ-45 connector latch, preventing it from catching on other cables or equipment in crowded patch panels. This reduces accidental disconnections, minimizes connector damage, and improves reliability in high-density network environments where cables are closely packed together.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It uses twisted pair technology to counter electromagnetic interference (EMI), radio frequency interference (RFI), and crosstalk without additional shielding layers. This makes the cable more flexible and easier to install while still providing effective interference protection for most indoor networking applications.
What types of network devices can I connect with this cable?
This patch cable connects any devices with RJ-45 Ethernet ports, including network adapters, hubs, switches, routers, computers, printers, and HDBaseT equipment. It's designed for patch panel connections, direct device-to-device links, and infrastructure patching in office, data center, and commercial environments.
What is the warranty coverage for this Ethernet cable?
C2G provides a lifetime limited warranty for this Cat6a patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, offering long-term reliability assurance and protection against manufacturing issues when used under normal conditions.
Can I use this cable for outdoor installations?
This cable has a standard non-rated PVC jacket designed for indoor use. It's not rated for direct burial, UV exposure, or extreme environmental conditions. For outdoor applications, you would need specifically rated outdoor Ethernet cables with appropriate weatherproofing and UV-resistant jackets.
