Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a patch cable supports high-speed Ethernet standards, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications over short distances. The STP shielding effectively reduces crosstalk and external interference, maintaining signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
The cable's construction includes molded strain relief and snagless boot design to prevent boot snagging during installation and removal. Gold/nickel-plated contacts ensure optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines performance, durability, and user-friendly design for professional networking needs. The shielded construction and high-quality materials ensure consistent operation in demanding environments.
Enhanced Signal Integrity
STP shielding protects against electromagnetic interference, maintaining clean signal transmission for reliable network performance.
- Reduces crosstalk between adjacent cables
- Minimizes external electrical noise impact
- Supports high-speed data transfer requirements
Durable Physical Design
The snagless boot design prevents accidental disconnections while the gold/nickel-plated connectors ensure lasting conductivity.
- Snagless boots protect against boot snagging during installation
- Gold/nickel plating resists corrosion and oxidation
- Molded strain relief enhances cable durability
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat6a patch cable is ideal for connecting network devices within racks, between workstations and wall outlets, or in structured cabling systems. Its 5-foot length makes it suitable for short-run connections where precise cable management is required.
Common applications include connecting switches to patch panels, linking computers to network ports, integrating network-attached storage devices, and establishing connections in server rooms or telecommunications closets. The blue color allows for easy identification in multi-cable installations.
Office Network Connectivity
Connect workstations, printers, and other network devices to switches or wall outlets with reliable Cat6a performance.
Data Center Patch Connections
Use for short interconnections between network equipment in rack-mounted environments where shielded cables reduce interference.
Physical Profile
This blue PVC-jacketed cable measures 5 feet (1.52 meters) in length with an approximate weight of 2.82 ounces (79.83 grams). The snagless boot design facilitates easy insertion and removal in densely populated patch panels without catching on adjacent ports. The flexible stranded construction allows for tight bends while maintaining performance specifications.

FAQ
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6a cable?
Cat6a cable supports higher frequencies (up to 500 MHz) compared to Cat6 (up to 250 MHz), allowing for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over longer distances. This C2G cable is Cat6a rated, making it suitable for 10GbE applications over its 5-foot length while providing better alien crosstalk performance than standard Cat6 cables.
What does STP shielding provide in a network cable?
STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) shielding adds a protective layer around the twisted pairs within the cable to reduce electromagnetic interference from external sources. This helps maintain signal integrity in environments with electrical noise, making it ideal for data centers, industrial settings, or installations near power cables where interference could degrade network performance.
What are the advantages of snagless boots on patch cables?
Snagless boots feature a protective design that covers the connector latch, preventing it from catching on other cables or equipment during installation and removal. This reduces the risk of accidental disconnections, damaged latches, and installation frustration in densely populated patch panels, making cable management more efficient and reliable.
What devices is this patch cable compatible with?
This RJ-45 male-to-male patch cable is compatible with any network device featuring standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports, including switches, routers, computers, printers, network-attached storage devices, and IP cameras. It supports Ethernet standards from 10/100/1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) to 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet) over short distances.
