Premium Patch Cable Extension Solution

This two-pack of shielded Cat 6 Ethernet extension cables extends the reach of an existing cable that is too short to reach a router or streaming device. Each cable is 6 ft long and rated for network speeds up to 10-Gigabit Ethernet with backwards compatibility to Cat 5e and Cat 5 networks. The shielded twisted pair construction provides universal connectivity for computers, printers and routers. A spare cable is included for testing or temporary connections.

Category 6 Performance and Shielding

The single specification that decides fit is the Cat 6 shielded twisted pair rating with foil shielding and gold-plated contacts. It meets or exceeds Category 6 performance in compliance with the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard and uses bare copper conductors. The cable supports Power over Ethernet and Voice over IP applications alongside UTP, FTP and STP patch cables.

Port Saver Installation

Installation is a simple inline connection that extends an existing patch cable without tools; the connectors snap into standard RJ45 ports and the sturdy cord supports the weight of a long patch cable. What usually goes wrong is choosing an unshielded cable when the environment requires foil shielding for lower signal loss, or buying a single cable when a spare is needed for testing or travel.
