Signamax C6A-114YE-3FB Category 6A Patch Cord Snag-Proof Boot, Yellow, 3 Ft.

Overview

The Signamax C6A-114YE-3FB is a 3-foot Category 6A Unshielded Twisted Pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed network infrastructure. Its yellow jacket simplifies identification in crowded racks or cable management systems, while the snag-proof boot protects the RJ45 connector and prevents accidental disengagement during installation or maintenance. This cable is engineered to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) speeds, making it suitable for demanding data center, enterprise, or surveillance network deployments where bandwidth and signal integrity are critical.

Compatibility

This Category 6A patch cord is compatible with all standard networking equipment featuring RJ45 ports, including managed and unmanaged network switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras. It meets the requirements for connecting devices within a 10 Gigabit Ethernet network infrastructure, ensuring reliable data transmission for applications such as high-definition video streaming, large file transfers, and real-time data processing. It is backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 6 networks, though performance will be limited to the lower category's specifications.

Installation Notes

The snag-proof boot design prevents the release tab on the RJ45 connector from being accidentally pressed, which can lead to cable disconnection. This feature is particularly beneficial in high-density environments where frequent patching and unpatching occur. The 3-foot length is ideal for short-run connections within a patch panel, between a patch panel and a switch, or for connecting a device directly to a wall outlet, minimizing cable clutter and potential signal degradation associated with longer cable runs.
