Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable meets industry standards for Ethernet networking, providing reliable connectivity for data transmission up to 1 Gbps over short distances. The unshielded twisted pair construction reduces crosstalk while maintaining flexibility for tight installation spaces.
The cable's 12-inch length makes it ideal for connecting adjacent devices in network racks, between switches and patch panels, or for connecting computers to nearby wall outlets. The RJ-45 connectors feature gold-plated contacts for optimal signal transmission and corrosion resistance.
Key Product Advantages
This C2G patch cable delivers reliable network performance with several practical advantages for IT professionals and network administrators.
Short-Run Optimization
The 1ft length eliminates excess cable clutter while providing just enough slack for proper strain relief and maintenance access.
- Reduces cable management complexity
- Minimizes signal degradation over short distances
- Ideal for dense rack environments
Durable Construction
Built with quality materials for long-term reliability in commercial and office environments.
- Snagless boot protects connector latch
- PVC jacket resists abrasion
- Gold-plated contacts ensure consistent connectivity
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat6 patch cable is designed for various networking scenarios where short cable runs are required. Its specific length and connector configuration make it suitable for organized network infrastructure deployments.
Common applications include connecting network switches to patch panels in server racks, linking routers to modems in telecom closets, and establishing connections between adjacent networking equipment. The yellow color provides visual differentiation for specific network segments or priority connections.
Server Rack Applications
Connect switches to patch panels in standard 19" or 23" server racks where minimal cable length reduces clutter and improves airflow.
Workstation Connections
Link computers to nearby network outlets or connect peripheral networking devices in office environments where longer cables would create tripping hazards or visual clutter.
Physical Profile
The cable features a flexible yellow PVC jacket that maintains its shape while allowing for tight bends in confined spaces. With a weight of just 0.48 ounces, it adds minimal load to cable management systems while providing durable protection for the internal conductors. The snagless boot design extends slightly beyond the RJ-45 connector to prevent the latch from catching on other cables or equipment during installation and maintenance.

FAQ
What is the exact length of this Cat6 patch cable?
This C2G patch cable measures exactly 12 inches (304.80 mm) in length, which is equivalent to 1 foot or 0.3 meters. This short length is specifically designed for connecting adjacent networking equipment in racks or between nearby devices where longer cables would create unnecessary clutter.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of this patch cable feature standard RJ-45 male connectors. Each end has one RJ-45 male connector, making this a straight-through cable suitable for connecting computers to switches, switches to patch panels, or routers to modems in typical Ethernet networking applications.
Is this Cat6 cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Cat6 cable. The unshielded design is suitable for most office and commercial environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal. UTP cables are more flexible and easier to install than shielded alternatives while still providing reliable performance for Gigabit Ethernet applications.
What does 'snagless' mean for this patch cable?
The snagless feature refers to the protective boot that covers the RJ-45 connector latch. This boot prevents the latch from catching on other cables, equipment, or rack components during installation and maintenance. The snagless design reduces the risk of accidental disconnection and connector damage in dense network environments.
