Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6A cable operates at 650 MHz, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet over distances up to 100 meters when used in structured cabling systems. The RJ45 connectors feature 50-micron gold plating on the contacts, which reduces oxidation and maintains consistent electrical performance over repeated insertions and removals.
The cable construction includes stranded copper conductors for flexibility, making it ideal for patch panel applications where frequent movement occurs. The booted design prevents cable kinking at the connector junction, a common failure point in high-traffic network environments.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines high-performance specifications with practical durability features that benefit both installation technicians and end-users. The molded boot not only protects the connector but also makes cable management easier in tight spaces.
High-Speed Compatibility
Supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet standards, ensuring forward compatibility with existing and future network infrastructure.
- Backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6
- Ideal for server connections and switch uplinks
Durable Construction
The stranded conductor design provides flexibility without sacrificing performance, while the strain relief boot prevents connector damage.
- Withstands repeated bending
- Gold contacts resist corrosion
Deployment / Use Cases
This CAT6A patch cable is specifically designed for connecting network devices in office environments, data centers, and commercial installations. Its 5-foot length makes it ideal for short runs between equipment in server racks, network cabinets, and workstation setups.
Common applications include connecting computers to wall jacks, linking switches to patch panels, and establishing connections between routers and modems. The yellow color provides visual differentiation in complex cable management systems, helping technicians identify specific connections quickly.
Data Center Applications
Perfect for connecting servers to top-of-rack switches where high bandwidth and reliability are critical.
Office Networking
Suitable for connecting workstations to network ports, supporting VoIP phones, and linking network printers.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed this cable supports?
This CAT6A cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabit per second). It's designed for high-speed networking applications including 10GBASE-T Ethernet, making it suitable for connecting servers, switches, and other network equipment that require maximum bandwidth performance.
Are both ends of the cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ45 male connectors. Each end has one RJ45 network connector with gold-plated contacts, making this a straight-through patch cable suitable for standard Ethernet connections between network devices and infrastructure.
What is the purpose of the molded boot on this cable?
The molded boot serves two primary functions: it provides strain relief to prevent the cable from bending sharply at the connector junction, and it protects the connector from dust and debris when plugged in. This design extends the cable's lifespan, particularly in environments where cables are frequently moved or rearranged.
Is this cable backward compatible with older network equipment?
Yes, this CAT6A cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks. You can use it to connect older devices that only support 1 Gbit/s or 100 Mbit/s speeds while maintaining the capability to support 10 Gbit/s when you upgrade your network equipment in the future.
