FAQs

What are the key features of the C2G 00697 Cat6a network cable?
The C2G 00697 is a 9-foot Cat6a Snagless Unshielded (UTP) network patch cable featuring gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, snagless boot design, and support for 10 Gigabit data transmission. It's constructed with high-quality copper conductors, HDPE insulation, and PVC jacket. The cable is fully tested to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a standards and comes with a lifetime warranty. Its blue color helps in network installation color-coding.
What speeds and distances can this Cat6a cable support?
This Cat6a patch cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T) data transmission over distances up to 100 meters. Unlike standard Cat6 cables that may have limited 10 Gigabit performance, this Cat6a cable offers improved alien crosstalk performance and consistent 10Gbps speeds across its supported length, making it ideal for high-speed network connections.
What types of devices is this cable compatible with?
The C2G 00697 is compatible with a wide range of network devices including network adapters, hubs, switches, routers, DSL/cable modems, and patch panels. It's specifically designed for use with 10GBase-T ports and equipment, featuring RJ-45 male connectors on both ends for universal network device compatibility.
What makes this cable "snagless" and why is it important?
The cable features a snagless boot design, which includes protective boots over the RJ-45 connectors to prevent the locking tabs from snagging or catching when pulling cables through tight spaces. This feature is particularly important in high-density switch applications where multiple cables are present, helping to prevent damage during installation and maintenance.
What certifications and standards does this cable meet?
The C2G 00697 cable meets several important certifications and standards including UL94V-0 for fire safety and ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a specifications. Each cable is fully tested to meet Cat6a channel requirements, ensuring reliable high-performance network connectivity and compliance with industry standards.
