Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a cable is engineered to meet ANSI/TIA-568-B.2-10 and ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, ensuring compatibility with 10Base-T and NBASE-T networks. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors provide optimal signal integrity, while the full shielding protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI) and minimizes near-end crosstalk (NEXT).
The snagless boot design prevents accidental disconnection in tight spaces, and the gold-plated connectors resist corrosion for long-term reliability. With a data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s, this cable supports high-bandwidth applications without performance degradation.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
