Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards, delivering Gigabit Ethernet performance with support for 10/100/1000BASE-T networks. The S/FTP shielding combines individual foil shielding around each twisted pair with an overall braided shield, offering superior protection against external noise and crosstalk in electrically noisy environments.
The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility and durability for frequent handling, while the molded snagless boots prevent latch damage during insertion and removal. The cable is environmentally friendly and backed by a lifetime limited warranty, reflecting its long-term reliability.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines high-speed performance with durable construction, making it a dependable choice for critical network infrastructure. The S/FTP shielding ensures data integrity in environments with high EMI/RFI, while the snagless boots and flexible design simplify installation and maintenance.
Enhanced Signal Integrity
Gold-plated contacts and S/FTP shielding reduce signal loss and interference, supporting consistent Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
- Gold plating resists corrosion
- Shielding minimizes EMI/RFI
- Maintains 550 MHz performance
Durable Build
The molded snagless boots and gray jacket provide physical protection and easy identification in cable management systems.
- Snagless design prevents latch damage
- Gray color for quick visual sorting
- Stranded conductors for flexibility
Deployment / Use Cases
This 2-foot CAT6 patch cable is ideal for short-distance connections within network racks, data centers, office workstations, and server rooms. Its shielded design makes it suitable for environments with high electrical noise, such as industrial settings or areas with dense electronic equipment.
Common applications include connecting patch panels to switches, linking routers to modems, or interfacing between network devices in rack-mounted configurations. The compact length helps reduce cable clutter while maintaining performance for Gigabit Ethernet, VoIP, and PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications.
Data Center Use
Perfect for high-density rack setups where reliable, shielded connections are needed to minimize interference and ensure network stability.
Office Networking
Suitable for connecting workstations to wall outlets or linking network hardware in commercial offices, providing fast and secure data transfer.

FAQ
What is the difference between S/FTP and UTP shielding?
S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding provides both individual foil shielding around each twisted pair and an overall braided shield, offering superior protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference compared to UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), which has no shielding. This makes S/FTP cables like the Axiom C6MBSFTPG2-AX ideal for noisy environments where signal integrity is critical.
Can this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this CAT6 cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, including PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ standards. The 26 AWG conductors and S/FTP shielding ensure reliable power and data transmission for devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, making it suitable for integrated network setups.
What is the advantage of gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 connectors?
Gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 connectors provide excellent corrosion resistance, which maintains electrical conductivity and signal integrity over time. This reduces signal loss and ensures consistent performance, especially in environments with humidity or varying temperatures, supporting reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or industrial use?
This cable is designed for indoor use in controlled environments such as data centers, offices, and server rooms. While the S/FTP shielding protects against electrical interference, it does not have weatherproofing or UV-resistant jackets required for outdoor or harsh industrial applications. For such uses, specifically rated outdoor or industrial Ethernet cables are recommended.
