Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6a patch cable delivers a data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s, supporting high-speed applications such as 10GbE networking, data centers, and bandwidth-intensive tasks. The 26 AWG copper conductors ensure efficient power delivery for PoE applications, complying with IEEE 802.3bt and DTE power standards to prevent cable overheating. The cable's shielding and twisted-pair construction reduce signal degradation over distance, maintaining performance up to its rated length.
Connectors are molded with snagless boots to prevent accidental disconnection and simplify cable management in tight spaces. The gold-plated contacts enhance conductivity and resist rust, while the CMG-rated PVC jacket offers flame-retardant properties for use in plenum spaces. With a weight of approximately 2 oz (56.70 g), the cable remains lightweight yet robust for daily use.
