Cables To Go 00815 Cat6 shielded network ethernet cable 8 ft black

Shielded Cat6 patch cable

This Cat6 patch cable provides an 8 ft shielded link between two RJ45 ports. The foil shielding protects high-speed data from electromagnetic interference and reduces impedance and structural return loss. Bonded pairs preserve twist spacing to the termination point, keeping near-end crosstalk low. It meets ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6 component requirements.

Ideal for fixed desktop or rack runs

The 8 ft length suits permanent connections between a wall jack, switch or router and a single device where the route is known and does not change. Buyers who need longer runs across rooms, between floors or through conduit should select a different length. The cable is not rated for outdoor burial or plenum spaces, so those installations require alternative types.

Cat6 bandwidth rating

The cable is certified to the Cat6 standard, supporting the frequencies and crosstalk limits defined for gigabit Ethernet and higher voice, data and video distribution. This rating is the single specification that determines whether the link will perform at the required speed for the intended application.
