Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable utilizes unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket material. The cable is engineered with minimized Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) to maintain signal integrity and reduce interference in high-density network environments.
The RJ-45 connectors feature gold-plated contacts for optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance. The 3 ft length provides flexibility for connecting devices within racks, patch panels, or desktop setups without excess cable management requirements.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines practical design with performance-oriented features for dependable network connectivity. The red color provides visual identification in complex cable management systems, while the snagless boots prevent accidental disconnections in crowded network environments.
Enhanced Signal Integrity
Minimized Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) engineering reduces signal interference, ensuring stable data transmission across connected devices.
- Reduced signal degradation
- Improved network performance
- Reliable data transfer
Durable Construction
Molded strain relief and PVC jacket material provide protection against physical stress and environmental factors.
- Extended cable lifespan
- Resistance to bending stress
- Protection against abrasion
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat6 patch cable is designed for connecting network equipment in various commercial and institutional settings. The 3 ft length makes it particularly suitable for connecting devices within server racks, network cabinets, or desktop workstations where minimal cable slack is preferred.
Common applications include connecting switches to patch panels, routers to modems, computers to network ports, and other twisted-pair network configurations. The cable is compatible with network adapters, hubs, switches, routers, DSL/cable modems, and patch panels across standard Ethernet networks.

FAQ
What is the cable length of this Cat6 patch cable?
This C2G Cat6 patch cable measures 3 feet (0.91 meters) in length. This compact size makes it ideal for connecting network devices in close proximity, such as within server racks, between adjacent equipment in network cabinets, or from wall ports to desktop computers where minimal cable slack is preferred for organized installations.
What type of connectors does this cable have on both ends?
Both ends of this patch cable feature standard RJ-45 male connectors. These connectors are designed with gold-plated contacts for optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance. The snagless boot design on each connector prevents accidental disconnection when cables are routed through crowded network environments or cable management systems.
What are the key features of this Cat6 cable's construction?
This Cat6 patch cable incorporates several important construction features including minimized Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) engineering to reduce signal interference, molded strain relief for enhanced durability during frequent handling, and a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket that provides protection against physical stress. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design follows Category 6 specifications for reliable Ethernet performance.
What devices is this patch cable compatible with?
This Cat6 patch cable is compatible with a wide range of network equipment including network adapters, hubs, switches, routers, DSL/cable modems, and patch panels. It supports standard twisted-pair Ethernet applications across commercial, institutional, and small business environments where reliable Cat6 connectivity is required for data transmission between networked devices.
