TAA CAT 6A Patch Cable, UTP Stranded, Flush Molded Boots, Gray

Description

Shaxon’s TAA Compliant CAT 6A patch cables are proudly manufactured in the United States to meet Trade Agreements Act (TAA) standards, making them ideal for use in secure government, military, and commercial network environments. Built with stranded UTP construction and flush molded boots, these cables provide exceptional flexibility, durability, and clean cable management in dense installations.

Designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet and beyond, these high-performance cables are built to handle advanced applications such as large file transfers, network storage, streaming media, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery. The flush molded boot offers a low-profile design that maintains airflow and organization within racks, patch panels, and network closets.

Key Features:

• Category 6A Performance: Supports 10GBASE-T networking and advanced data transmission across longer distances.

• Stranded UTP Construction: Offers flexibility for patching and frequent cable movement without signal degradation.

• Flush Molded Boots: Protect the RJ45 clip while allowing side-by-side placement in high-density port layouts.

• CM Rated Jacket: Approved for general-purpose use in commercial structured cabling systems.

• Made in the USA / TAA Compliant: Fully meets government procurement requirements for federally funded networks.

Benefits:

• Future-Ready Connectivity: Built to meet the demands of high-bandwidth networks and PoE-powered devices.

• Space-Saving Design: Low-profile boots streamline airflow and fit easily in tight rack environments.

• Effortless Cable Management: Color-coded options available for easy identification and maintenance.

• Durable and Flexible: Stranded conductors offer long-lasting use in active or changing network configurations.

• Custom Lengths Available: Choose from a variety of standard lengths or request custom configurations as needed.

CATEGORY 6A
Category 6A (Augmented Category 6) cable is a standardized twisted pair cable for Ethernet and other network physical layers. It is backward compatible with Category 6, 5e, and 3 standards. CAT 6A supports data rates up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 100 meters and operates at frequencies up to 500 MHz.

CABLING STANDARDS
Network cabling standards are published by ISO/IEC, CENELEC, and TIA. For backbone cabling, solid-conductor UTP is typically between 22 AWG and 24 AWG, while stranded cable is preferred for patching due to its superior flexibility.

POWER OVER ETHERNET (PoE)
PoE allows both power and data to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation of devices like wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones. CAT 6A cables are ideal for higher power PoE applications, offering improved thermal performance and consistent delivery.
