Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable meets the TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 standard, ensuring compatibility with 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T, and 10GBASE-T Ethernet applications over shorter distances. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction provides effective noise rejection without the need for grounding, simplifying deployment in typical office and data center environments.
The cable's internal twisted pair configuration reduces electromagnetic interference, maintaining signal integrity for stable data transmission. With a bandwidth of up to 250 MHz, it supports high-speed data transfer for bandwidth-intensive applications.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines durability with performance, offering a robust solution for everyday networking needs. The snagless connector boots prevent latch breakage, a common issue in crowded patch panels, while the high-quality copper conductors ensure consistent electrical performance.
Reliable Connectivity
Provides dependable network links with stable performance, supporting uninterrupted operations and consistent data flow across connected systems.
- Minimizes crosstalk and interference
- Supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds
- Maintains signal integrity over its length
Durable Construction
Features a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket that resists abrasion and environmental factors, protecting the internal conductors from damage.
- Snagless boot protects connector latch
- Flexible design for easy routing
- Long-lasting materials
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat6 patch cable is ideal for connecting network devices in office environments, data centers, home networks, and small to medium-sized business infrastructures. Its 14-foot length provides flexibility for routing between equipment racks, workstations, and networking hardware.
Common applications include linking computers to wall outlets, connecting switches to patch panels, attaching routers to modems, and interfacing network adapters with hubs. The cable is compatible with hubs, switches, routers, network adapters, modems, DSL/cable connections, and patch panels, making it a versatile component for various twisted pair applications.

FAQ
What is the length of this Cat6 patch cable?
This C2G Cat6 patch cable measures 14 feet (4.27 meters) in length. This distance provides ample reach for connecting devices across typical office workstations, between equipment in server racks, or from wall outlets to computers, offering flexibility without excessive cable slack.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of this patch cable feature RJ-45 male connectors. Each connector is a standard 8P8C (8-position, 8-contact) modular plug commonly used for Ethernet networking, ensuring compatibility with most network ports on switches, routers, computers, and patch panels.
Is this Cat6 cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cat6 cable. It uses twisted pair construction to reduce electromagnetic interference without additional shielding layers, making it suitable for typical office environments where grounding is not required and installation simplicity is preferred.
What does 'snagless' mean for this patch cable?
The snagless design includes a protective boot around the RJ-45 connector latch. This boot prevents the latch from catching on other cables, ports, or rack components during installation or removal, reducing the risk of breakage and extending the cable's durability in high-density patch panels.
