Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable adheres to TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 standards, supporting bandwidth up to 550 MHz for high-speed data transfer. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable connections in typical networking environments. The gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance conductivity and durability, with a 50-micron plating thickness that resists oxidation over time.
The cable features molded boots that integrate strain relief to protect the connector joints from physical stress. With a 24 AWG wire gauge, it balances flexibility and performance, suitable for patch panel connections, switch-to-device links, and other short-run applications. The cable is rated for network devices, including routers, switches, computers, and printers, providing broad compatibility across Ethernet-based systems.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom patch cable combines durability with performance, featuring a snagless boot design that prevents tangling and connector damage during installation and maintenance. The gold-plated contacts ensure low insertion loss and reliable data transmission, critical for maintaining network uptime and reducing packet loss in business environments.
Enhanced Durability
The molded boot provides strain relief and protects the cable-connector interface from bending and pulling stresses, extending the cable's operational life in high-traffic areas.
- Snagless design prevents boot catch
- Strain relief reduces connector fatigue
- Molded construction resists wear
Superior Connectivity
Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring consistent signal quality and reducing the need for frequent replacements.
- 50-micron gold plating
- Low contact resistance
- Compatible with standard RJ-45 ports
Deployment / Use Cases
This 3-foot CAT6 patch cable is ideal for short-distance connections within network racks, between switches and servers, or linking workstations to wall outlets. Its length makes it perfect for organized cable management in data centers, office networks, and home offices where minimal slack is desired.
Common applications include connecting routers to modems, linking patch panels to switches, and attaching network printers or IP cameras to network switches. The UTP design and lack of shielding make it suitable for environments without significant electromagnetic interference, such as typical office settings. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications for devices like VoIP phones and wireless access points, provided the network equipment is PoE-capable.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this CAT6 cable?
This Axiom CAT6 patch cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and other high-speed networking standards, with a bandwidth rating of 550 MHz. It is designed for data transfer rates up to 1 Gbps over distances up to 100 meters, though this specific 3-foot length is ideal for short connections within racks or between nearby devices.
Are the connectors on this cable gold-plated?
Yes, both RJ-45 connectors feature gold plating, which enhances electrical conductivity and resists corrosion. This plating ensures reliable signal transmission and reduces insertion loss, making the cable suitable for environments where consistent network performance is critical, such as in offices or data centers.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this CAT6 UTP patch cable supports Power over Ethernet applications, including PoE (802.3af) and PoE+ (802.3at). The 24 AWG conductors are capable of carrying both data and power to compatible devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras, provided the connected network equipment is PoE-enabled.
What does 'snagless molded boot' mean?
The snagless molded boot is a protective cover over the RJ-45 connector that prevents the boot from catching on other cables or rack components during installation or removal. It also provides strain relief to reduce stress on the connector joints, extending the cable's lifespan and maintaining reliable connections in high-traffic networking environments.
