Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6A cable operates at a frequency of 650 MHz, ensuring robust performance for high-speed data applications. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors deliver consistent signal integrity over the 3-foot length, minimizing crosstalk and interference. The RJ45 connectors are precision-engineered to meet industry standards for network cabling, providing a secure fit with standard Ethernet ports.
The gold-plated contacts enhance conductivity and resist oxidation, maintaining reliable connections over time. The molded boot design not only protects the plug and socket from dust but also adds strain relief to prevent cable damage from frequent handling or movement. This cable is fully compatible with a wide range of network devices, including switches, routers, and computers.
