Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6A patch cable meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards, ensuring compatibility with existing network infrastructure. The S/FTP shielding combines overall foil shielding with individual pair shielding, effectively reducing crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI) for cleaner signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
Constructed with 26 AWG stranded copper conductors, the cable offers flexibility and ease of installation while maintaining performance over its 20-foot length. The booted connectors prevent snagging and cable damage, and the strain relief feature extends the cable's operational life in high-traffic networking setups.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this CAT6A cable?
This Axiom CAT6A patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-speed networking applications such as server connections, network storage, and bandwidth-intensive tasks. It is designed to handle the demands of modern Ethernet standards while maintaining signal integrity over its 20-foot length.
Does this cable have shielding, and what type is it?
Yes, this cable features S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding. This design includes overall foil shielding around the cable and individual foil shielding around each twisted pair, providing excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. This ensures reliable performance in environments with electrical noise.
What are the connector types on each end of this patch cable?
Both ends of this cable are equipped with RJ45 male connectors. Each end has a single RJ45 network male connector with gold-plated contacts, ensuring compatibility with standard Ethernet ports on network devices such as switches, routers, computers, and servers. The connectors are designed for secure and stable connections.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use or harsh environments?
This cable is designed for indoor use in standard networking environments such as offices, data centers, and server rooms. While it has S/FTP shielding for interference protection, it does not have specific ratings for outdoor exposure, direct burial, or extreme conditions. For outdoor applications, consider cables with additional weatherproofing and UV-resistant jackets.
