Cables To Go 00846 Cat6 Shielded Ethernet Cable Red 5 ft 1.52 m

Cat6 Shielded Patch Cable 5 ft

This five-foot Category 6 patch cable carries RJ-45 male connectors on both ends and uses 26 AWG stranded bare copper conductors. A foil layer with 100 % coverage and a copper braid at 40 % coverage surround the insulated cores, all wrapped in a red PVC jacket. Gold and nickel plating on the connector contacts resists corrosion, while moulded snagless boots protect the locking tabs during insertion and removal.

Fixed-length runs in shielded environments

The cable suits installers who need a short, factory-terminated link between a switch, router or patch panel and a network device where electromagnetic interference is a concern. Its double shielding and Category 6 rating support gigabit Ethernet over the full 5 ft length. Buyers who need longer reach, unshielded construction, or a different colour should look at other options in the range.

Double-shielded construction with 26 AWG conductors

The combination of aluminium foil at 100 % coverage and copper braid at 40 % coverage over 26 AWG stranded conductors is the specification that determines whether this cable meets the shielding and flexibility requirements of a given installation.
