Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable supports frequencies up to 550 MHz, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network applications. The S/FTP shielding combines overall foil shielding with individual pair foil shielding, providing comprehensive EMI/RF protection in electrically noisy environments.
The cable construction includes stranded conductors for flexibility and durability, while the gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure reliable connectivity with low insertion loss. The 26 AWG wire gauge balances performance with physical flexibility for easy cable management.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines robust shielding with practical design features for professional networking installations. The comprehensive protection against interference makes it ideal for environments with multiple electronic devices or industrial equipment where signal integrity is critical.
Superior Shielding Performance
S/FTP shielding provides dual-layer protection with overall foil shielding plus individual pair foil shielding, significantly reducing crosstalk and external interference for cleaner signal transmission.
- EMI/RF protection
- Reduced crosstalk
- Stable data transmission
Durable Connector Design
Gold-plated RJ45 contacts maintain reliable connectivity with minimal signal loss, while the snagless molded boots prevent accidental disconnection and provide strain relief for extended cable life.
- Gold contact plating
- Snagless boot design
- Strain relief protection
Deployment / Use Cases
This CAT6 patch cable is designed for connecting network devices in various professional and commercial environments. Its shielding makes it particularly valuable in installations where electromagnetic interference could compromise network performance.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting switches to routers in server rooms, linking workstations to wall ports in office environments, and interconnecting network equipment in data centers. The 3-foot length is ideal for short runs within racks or between adjacent devices on a work surface.
Server Room & Data Center Use
The shielding protects against interference from nearby servers, UPS systems, and other equipment, while the snagless boots prevent accidental disconnections during maintenance or equipment changes.
Office Network Connections
Provides reliable connectivity for workstations, printers, and other network devices with the flexibility needed for cable management in desk areas and network cabinets.

FAQ
What type of shielding does this CAT6 cable have?
This cable features S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding, which combines overall foil shielding around all conductor pairs with individual foil shielding around each twisted pair. This dual-layer approach provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) compared to unshielded or minimally shielded cables, making it ideal for environments with multiple electronic devices or industrial equipment.
What are the connector types on this patch cable?
Both ends of this cable feature standard RJ45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. Each end has exactly one RJ45 connector, making it a straight-through patch cable suitable for connecting network devices like computers, switches, routers, and printers. The gold plating ensures reliable connectivity with minimal signal loss over time.
What is the advantage of the snagless boot design?
The snagless molded boots prevent the connector latch from catching on other cables, equipment, or cable management components during installation or maintenance. This design feature reduces the risk of accidental disconnections and potential damage to the connector latch, while also providing strain relief that extends the cable's operational life in frequently accessed networking environments.
What network speeds does this CAT6 cable support?
As a Category 6 cable rated for 550 MHz, this patch cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and other high-speed network protocols. The S/FTP shielding helps maintain signal integrity at these speeds, particularly in environments with potential interference. While CAT6 can support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances, this 3-foot cable is primarily designed for Gigabit applications within racks or between adjacent devices.
