FAQs

What is the maximum speed/bandwidth supported by this Cat6a cable?
This Cat6a cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T) speeds, making it ideal for high-speed network connections. The cable is fully tested to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements and is designed to handle bandwidth-intensive applications while reducing impedance and structural return loss (SRL).
What are the key features of this network patch cable?
This C2G network patch cable features a snagless shielded (STP) design with gold and nickel-plated connectors, stranded copper conductors, and molded construction. It includes protective boots to prevent connector tab damage, EMI/RFI shielding for noise protection, and individually bonded pairs to maintain twist spacing. The cable is 7 feet long, features a durable PVC jacket, and comes with a lifetime warranty.
What types of devices is this cable compatible with?
This Cat6a patch cable is compatible with all network devices using 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-performance networking infrastructure.
What makes this cable "snagless" and why is it important?
The snagless feature refers to the specialized boot design that protects the RJ-45 connector's locking tab from snagging or breaking during installation and removal. This design is particularly important in dense networking environments where cables are frequently handled or in tight spaces where cables might catch on other components, ensuring longer cable life and easier cable management.
What type of shielding does this cable use and what are its benefits?
This cable uses Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) shielding, which provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). The shielding helps maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments, making it ideal for industrial settings or areas with high electromagnetic activity. This ensures reliable 10 Gigabit performance even in challenging environments.
