Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a patch cable meets the technical requirements for 10GBASE-T networks, supporting maximum distances up to 328 feet (100 meters) at full speed. The cable utilizes 26 AWG stranded conductors with four twisted pairs, providing the necessary electrical characteristics for stable signal transmission. Alien Cross Talk (AXT) reduction technology minimizes interference from adjacent cables, ensuring consistent performance in dense cable bundles common in server racks and patch panels.
The RJ-45 connectors feature gold-plated contacts for reliable electrical connectivity and corrosion resistance. The molded PVC connector housing and PVC jacket material provide durability and protection against physical wear. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) insulation maintains signal integrity while aluminum foil shielding material offers additional protection against electromagnetic interference.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this Cat6a cable?
This C2G Cat6a cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabits per second), making it suitable for 10GBASE-T Ethernet networks. This high-speed capability ensures sufficient bandwidth for demanding applications including video conferencing, large file transfers, and virtualized environments while maintaining backward compatibility with slower Cat5e and Cat6 standards.
Can this Ethernet cable deliver power to connected devices?
Yes, this Cat6a patch cable is Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible, meaning it can transmit both data and electrical power to supported devices. This capability simplifies installations for IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE-enabled equipment by eliminating the need for separate power cables and outlets near each device.
What does 'snagless boot' mean on this network cable?
The snagless boot refers to a protective cover over the RJ-45 connector's retention clip that prevents it from catching on other cables, ports, or equipment during installation and removal. This design feature reduces the risk of damaging the connector latch, extends the cable's usable life, and makes cable management in dense patch panels easier and more efficient.
How does Alien Cross Talk (AXT) reduction benefit network performance?
Alien Cross Talk reduction minimizes electromagnetic interference between adjacent cables in bundled installations. This technology helps maintain signal integrity and data transmission reliability in dense cable environments like server racks and patch panels, reducing errors and retransmissions that can degrade network performance, particularly at higher data rates like 10 Gbit/s.
What types of network devices are compatible with this patch cable?
This Cat6a cable is compatible with a wide range of network equipment including switches, routers, modems, patch panels, network adapters, and hubs. The standard RJ-45 connectors work with any device featuring Ethernet ports, making it suitable for connecting computers, printers, IP cameras, access points, and other networked devices in commercial, educational, or institutional environments.
What warranty coverage does this C2G Ethernet cable include?
C2G provides a lifetime limited warranty for this Cat6a patch cable, offering long-term protection against defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty coverage demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in the cable's durability and performance, providing assurance for network infrastructure investments that require reliable connectivity over extended periods.
