Cables To Go Cat6a Snagless Slim Ethernet Patch Cable, 0.9m, UTP, RJ-45, Purple

The Cables To Go Cat6a Snagless Slim Ethernet Patch Cable is a high-performance networking solution designed for modern, high-density environments. Measuring 0.9 meters in length, this unshielded (UTP) cable provides reliable connectivity for demanding data applications. Its slim 28AWG construction significantly reduces cable bulk, facilitating better airflow and easier management in crowded server racks, patch panels, and home office setups.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this slim Cat6a cable is its space-saving design, which allows for cleaner and more organized cable management in tight spaces. The snagless boot design protects the connector tabs from breaking during installation or removal, ensuring a secure connection every time. With support for data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps, this cable is engineered to handle high-bandwidth tasks efficiently. The gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer superior conductivity and resistance to corrosion, maintaining signal integrity over the life of the cable.

Suitable for

• High-density datacenter environments
• Large conference rooms using HDBaseT technology
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications
• Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems
• Home and professional network installations

When it may not be suitable

This cable is unshielded (UTP) and may not be the optimal choice for environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI) where shielded cabling is required to prevent signal degradation. Additionally, the 0.9-meter length is intended for short-range connections and is not suitable for long-distance network runs.

Key specifications

• Cable Category: Cat6a
• Length: 0.9 meters
• Connector Type: RJ-45
• Cable Type: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Conductor Gauge: 28AWG
• Maximum Data Rate: 10,000 Mbit/s
• Design: Snagless with molded boot

How to use

To use this patch cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on your networking device, such as a switch, router, or network interface card. Ensure the connector clicks into place to guarantee a secure connection. The snagless boot allows for easy insertion and removal without the risk of the plastic tab catching on other cables. For optimal performance, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles or placing heavy objects on it.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific setup
• Check if your network equipment supports Cat6a standards
• Ensure the unshielded design meets your environmental requirements
• Consider the color-coding needs for your network infrastructure

Usage recommendations

For the best results in high-density installations, use this slim cable to improve airflow and reduce clutter in your server rack or patch panel. Always ensure the cable is not stretched tightly between devices to maintain its longevity and performance.
