Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a patch cable operates at frequencies up to 650 MHz, supporting high-speed data transfer with minimal signal degradation. The 28 AWG stranded copper conductors provide durability and flexibility, while the gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent electrical contact and corrosion resistance. Shielding is included to protect against crosstalk and external interference, maintaining data integrity in noisy environments.
The cable's construction meets industry standards for Category 6a performance, including Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) specifications for reliable network operation. Its ultra-thin profile reduces bulk and improves airflow in cable management systems, and the snagless boot design prevents accidental disconnections. Compliance with RoHS and TAA requirements makes it suitable for government and commercial procurement.
