FAQ
What is the bandwidth of this Cat6 cable?
This Axiom BENDnFLEX patch cable supports bandwidth up to 550 MHz, which exceeds the baseline requirements for Category 6 cables. This higher bandwidth ensures reliable performance for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network applications, reducing signal degradation over short to medium distances.
Are both ends of the cable RJ45 connectors?
Yes, both ends feature RJ45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. Each end has one RJ45 connector, making it a standard patch cable for connecting network devices like switches, routers, and computers. The connectors are designed for secure, repeated insertions and removals.
What does 'snagless boot' mean?
A snagless boot is a protective cover over the RJ45 connector latch that prevents it from catching on other cables or equipment during installation. This design reduces the risk of latch breakage and accidental disconnections, making the cable more durable in high-traffic network environments.
Is this cable TAA compliant?
Yes, this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, meaning it meets U.S. government procurement requirements for products made in designated countries. It is manufactured in the United States, ensuring it qualifies for use in federal contracts and other regulated purchasing scenarios.
