Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a patch cable operates at frequencies up to 650 MHz, supporting 10GBASE-T Ethernet standards for high-bandwidth applications. The shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring stable performance in electrically noisy environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide corrosion-resistant contacts that maintain optimal conductivity over thousands of mating cycles.
The 28 AWG stranded copper conductors offer superior flexibility compared to traditional 24 AWG cables, making routing through conduits, patch panels, and cable management systems significantly easier. The ultra-thin jacket maintains bend radius requirements without compromising shielding effectiveness or mechanical protection.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Product Color, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The BENDnFLEX design combines performance with practical installation benefits that save time and reduce frustration for network technicians. The ultra-thin profile allows more cables to fit in crowded pathways without sacrificing Cat6a certification or shielding effectiveness.
Enhanced Durability
Snagless boots protect connector tabs from breakage while gold-plated contacts resist corrosion, extending cable lifespan in high-use environments.
- Lifetime limited warranty
- TAA compliant construction
- Environmentally friendly materials
Superior Flexibility
28 AWG stranded conductors and thin jacket design provide exceptional bend radius without performance degradation, ideal for tight spaces and frequent repositioning.
- Reduced installation time
- Easier cable management
- Lower stress on connectors
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat6a patch cable serves as an ideal solution for connecting network devices in office environments, data centers, classrooms, and government facilities. The 8-foot length provides optimal reach between wall outlets and desktop equipment or between adjacent rack-mounted devices in server cabinets.
The green color coding helps identify specific network segments or applications, while the TAA compliance makes this cable suitable for government procurement where domestic sourcing requirements apply. The shielded construction ensures reliable performance in industrial settings or locations with significant electrical interference.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This Cat6a patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBASE-T) at distances up to 100 meters. It operates at frequencies up to 650 MHz, meeting all Category 6a performance specifications for high-speed network applications including video streaming, large file transfers, and virtualization workloads.
Are both ends of the cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. Each end has one RJ-45 connector, making this a straight-through patch cable suitable for connecting network devices like computers, switches, routers, and access points in standard Ethernet configurations.
What does 'ultra-thin' mean for this patch cable?
The ultra-thin design refers to the cable's reduced diameter of approximately 4.5mm, achieved through 28 AWG stranded conductors and a thinner jacket. This provides greater flexibility and easier routing in tight spaces like cable trays, conduits, and crowded patch panels while maintaining full Cat6a performance and shielding effectiveness.
Is this cable shielded against interference?
Yes, this cable features shielded construction that reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. The shielding protects signal integrity in electrically noisy environments like industrial settings, data centers with high-density equipment, or locations near power cables and fluorescent lighting.
What is the advantage of snagless boots?
Snagless boots are molded plastic covers that protect the RJ-45 connector tabs from accidental breakage. They prevent the tabs from catching on other cables, rack components, or equipment during installation and maintenance, reducing downtime and replacement costs in frequently accessed network environments.
Does this cable meet government procurement requirements?
Yes, this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant and manufactured in the United States, making it suitable for government, education, and institutional procurement where domestic sourcing requirements apply. It also carries a lifetime limited warranty for added assurance in regulated deployments.
