C2G 29879 Cat6A UTP Patch Cord – 7 ft – Purple

Overview

The C2G 29879 is a 7-foot, purple Cat6A Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed Ethernet network infrastructure. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) speeds up to 100 meters, making it suitable for demanding data center, enterprise, and industrial network deployments where bandwidth and signal integrity are critical. The purple color aids in visual network cable management, allowing for quick identification of specific network segments or device types.

Compatibility

This Cat6A UTP patch cord is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and network devices, including switches, routers, servers, and workstations that support Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet standards (IEEE 802.3ab and IEEE 802.3an). It is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks, though performance will be limited to the capabilities of the lower-rated cable standard.

Installation Notes

Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive pulling tension or sharp bends, which can compromise internal conductor integrity and signal performance. For optimal 10GbE performance, ensure all connected network equipment and infrastructure also meet Cat6A specifications.
