Cables To Go 00684 Cat6a network ethernet cable Blue 15 ft 4.57 m

Cat6a shielded patch cable

This C2G 00684 cable provides a 15 ft (4.57 m) Category 6a link with RJ-45 male connectors on each end. The snagless boot protects the latch during routing and the blue jacket aids cable identification. The shielded construction helps reduce alien crosstalk in dense patch-panel environments. Suitable for new structured-cabling installations that specify Cat6a components.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Installers terminating horizontal runs to a Cat6a patch panel will find the length and shielding match that requirement. Builders who need a different length, an unshielded cable or a non-snagless boot should select another part. The fixed 15 ft reach does not suit runs that are significantly shorter or longer. No tool-less termination or keystone jack is included.

Deciding specification

The single specification that decides fit is the Category 6a rating combined with the 15 ft shielded, snagless RJ-45 construction. If the project calls for Cat6a performance at exactly this length the cable meets the requirement; if a different category or length is specified it will not.
