Cables To Go 00820 15ft Cat6 Shielded STP Ethernet Cable Black

Shielded Cat6 for interference-prone runs

This 15 ft Snagless Shielded Cat6 patch cable uses bonded-pair construction and individual foil shielding to protect high-speed networks from noise and electromagnetic interference. It is fully tested to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6 component requirements and designed for voice, data and video distribution including HDBaseT applications. The snagless boots protect the RJ45 locking tabs during repeated insertion and removal.

Installers needing EMI protection.

The shielded design suits environments where power cables, fluorescent lighting or industrial equipment create electromagnetic interference that would degrade an unshielded cable. Builders who only need standard patching in a low-interference office or home setting can use a less expensive unshielded Cat6 cable instead. The 15 ft length also limits use to shorter device-to-switch or panel-to-device connections.

Bonded pairs and length labels simplify

Each twisted pair is bonded to maintain consistent twist spacing right up to the termination point, which helps keep Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) low and makes punch-down or crimp terminations more predictable. An individual length label on every cable allows quick verification during installation and future audits without measuring. The black jacket and available colour options support colour-coded network segmentation.
