FAQs

What are the key features of the C2G 00971 Cat6a network cable?
The C2G 00971 is a 6-inch Cat6a Snagless Shielded (STP) network patch cable featuring gold-plated contacts, nickel-plated connectors, and copper conductors. It's designed with snagless boots, molded construction, and stranded cables. The cable is fully shielded to protect against EMI/RFI interference and supports 10 Gigabit networks. It meets ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 standards and comes with a lifetime warranty.
What type of connections does this cable have?
The cable features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, making it ideal for connecting network devices. Both connectors are equipped with gold-plated contacts for superior conductivity and nickel-plated connectors for durability. The snagless boot design protects the locking tabs during installation and removal, preventing cable damage.
What is the maximum network speed supported by this cable?
As a Cat6a cable, it supports 10GBase-T networks with speeds up to 10 Gigabits per second. The shielded twisted pair (STP) design and high-quality construction help minimize Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels and structural return loss (SRL), ensuring reliable high-speed data transmission for bandwidth-intensive applications.
Is this cable shielded, and why is that important?
Yes, this is a Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable. The shielding is crucial for protecting high-speed 10 Gigabit network connections from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This makes it ideal for environments where signal integrity is critical or where there may be significant electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment.
What certifications and standards does this cable meet?
The cable meets UL94V-0 safety standards and ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements. Each cable is fully tested to ensure compliance with these standards, guaranteeing high performance and reliability. The UL94V-0 rating indicates flame-retardant properties, while ANSI/TIA compliance ensures optimal network performance.
