FAQs

What is the maximum data transmission speed supported by this Cat6a cable?
This C2G Cat6a cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T) data transmission speeds over distances up to 100 meters. It's fully tested to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a channel requirements, making it ideal for high-speed network connections and superior to traditional Cat6 cables which may only support 10 Gigabit speeds over limited distances.
What are the physical specifications of this network cable?
This is a 10-foot (approximately 3 meters) gray Cat6a cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The cable features a PVC jacket with High-density Polyethylene (HDPE) insulation, weighs approximately 0.27 pounds, and includes snagless boots for protection. The connectors feature gold plating for optimal connectivity and corrosion resistance.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This Cat6a cable is compatible with all network devices that use RJ-45 connections, including network adapters, hubs, switches, routers, DSL/cable modems, and patch panels. It's specifically designed for use with 10GBase-T ports and equipment, making it ideal for high-speed network infrastructure deployments.
What makes this cable "snagless" and why is it important?
The cable features a snagless boot design that prevents the RJ-45 connector's locking tab from catching or snagging when being pulled through cable management systems or tight spaces. This feature is particularly important in high-density switch applications as it protects the connector's locking mechanism from damage and makes cable installation and removal easier.
What certifications and standards does this cable meet?
This Cat6a cable meets ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a channel requirements and is UL94V-0 certified. Each cable is fully tested to ensure compliance with these standards, guaranteeing reliable performance for 10 Gigabit networks. These certifications ensure the cable meets industry standards for safety and performance.
