Cables To Go 00797 Cat6 STP network ethernet cable 6 ft blue

Shielded Cat6 patch cable

This snagless shielded Cat6 patch cable uses RJ45 connectors at both ends and measures six feet in blue. It is built for network adapters, hubs, switches, routers and HDBaseT applications where electromagnetic interference must be kept low. The individually bonded pairs maintain twist spacing to the termination point. Each cable carries an individual length label for quick identification.

Cat6 bandwidth and interference limits

The Cat6 rating supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and handles voice, data and video distribution in bandwidth-intensive scenarios. Shielding reduces noise and electromagnetic interference while the construction minimises near-end crosstalk and structural return loss. Performance is verified against ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 component requirements. Unshielded environments or runs beyond the standard channel length will not benefit from the same protection.

Snagless boots simplify routing

Snagless boots protect the locking tabs during installation and removal, making the cable easier to pull through cable management channels. The bonded pair construction keeps geometry consistent up to the plug, reducing termination faults. Shielded plugs require proper grounding at the equipment end to realise the full interference rejection. Damaged boots or crushed jackets are the most common cause of degraded performance.
