Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 cable meets industry standards for Ethernet networking, supporting data transfer rates suitable for gigabit applications. The cable incorporates minimized near-end crosstalk (NEXT) protection, which reduces unwanted signal interference and ensures clean, accurate data transmission across the network.
The snagless boot design on each RJ-45 connector prevents accidental disconnections and damage during installation or maintenance, improving cable management and longevity. With full shielding, the cable offers additional protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), maintaining signal quality in electrically noisy environments.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines practical design with technical robustness to meet the connectivity needs of modern networks. Its long 100-foot length provides flexibility for runs between switches, routers, and endpoints without requiring intermediate connections.
Enhanced Signal Integrity
The shielded construction and minimized near-end crosstalk (NEXT) features work together to maintain signal clarity, reducing errors and retransmissions in data-heavy environments.
- Reduces electromagnetic interference
- Improves data accuracy
- Supports stable network performance
Durable Physical Design
Built with a sturdy blue jacket and snagless boots, this cable withstands frequent handling and installation stresses, ensuring reliable connections over time.
- Prevents connector damage
- Easier cable management
- Long-lasting deployment
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat6 shielded patch cable is ideal for extending network connections in office buildings, educational institutions, and commercial facilities. Its 100-foot length makes it suitable for runs between network cabinets and workstations, or for linking devices across large rooms.
Common applications include connecting switches to patch panels, linking routers to servers, or providing direct Ethernet connections to networked printers, IP cameras, and VoIP phones. The shielded design is particularly useful in environments with high EMI, such as industrial settings or areas with dense electrical wiring.
Office Network Expansion
Use this cable to add new workstations or relocate existing equipment without compromising network performance, thanks to its Cat6 rating and shielding.
Data Center Patching
Deploy in server racks for clean, organized connections between network gear, with snagless boots reducing clutter and preventing accidental unplugs.
Physical Profile
The cable features a distinctive blue jacket for easy identification in cable bundles and infrastructure documentation. With an approximate weight of 3.84 pounds, it balances durability with manageable handling during installation. The snagless boots add a practical touch by protecting the RJ-45 connectors from physical stress and simplifying insertion and removal in tight spaces.

FAQ
What is the length of this Cat6 Ethernet cable?
This C2G Cat6 cable measures 100 feet (30.48 meters) in length, providing ample reach for network connections across large rooms, between floors, or in expansive office layouts without requiring additional couplers or extenders.
Are both ends of the cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors, making this a standard patch cable suitable for connecting network devices like computers, switches, routers, and servers directly or through patch panels.
Does this cable have shielding?
Yes, this Cat6 cable is fully shielded, which helps protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby electrical equipment, ensuring more stable data transmission and reducing signal degradation in noisy environments.
What is the benefit of snagless boots on the connectors?
Snagless boots prevent the connector latch from catching on other cables or rack components during installation or removal, reducing the risk of damage and making cable management easier in dense network setups.
What wire gauge is used in this cable?
The cable uses 23 AWG (American Wire Gauge) conductors, which are thicker than some standard patch cables, offering better durability and signal performance over longer distances like the 100-foot length provided.
Is this cable RoHS compliant?
Yes, this cable complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, meaning it is manufactured without certain hazardous materials, making it environmentally friendly and suitable for use in regions with strict environmental regulations.
