Cables To Go 00786 Cat6 Shielded Network Ethernet Cable Gray 15 ft 4.57 m

15-foot shielded Cat6 patch cable

This 15-foot Cat6 patch cable uses shielded twisted-pair construction to protect high-speed network signals from electromagnetic interference. Both ends terminate in snagless RJ-45 male connectors for secure insertion and easy removal. The gray jacket suits standard office or home wiring schemes. It supports voice, data and video distribution across bandwidth-intensive applications.

Snagless boots and foil shielding

Snagless boots prevent the locking tabs from catching on adjacent cables during routing or maintenance. The overall foil shield reduces crosstalk and external noise, helping maintain consistent throughput in electrically noisy environments. Connectors are wired to the same pin-out at each end for straight-through patching. The 4.57-metre length reaches between typical desk and wall-port locations without excess slack.

Replaces unshielded Cat5e or damaged Cat6 runs

Upgrading from unshielded Cat5e eliminates a common bottleneck when gigabit speeds are needed near fluorescent lighting, power cables or industrial equipment. It also replaces a kinked, crushed or connector-damaged Cat6 cable that causes intermittent link drops. The shielded design is not required for short runs in low-interference residential settings where unshielded cable performs adequately.
