12 ft Cat6 Shielded Patch Cable

This 12 ft Category 6 cable uses RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It is built for wired network links between routers, switches, PCs or other network devices. The red PVC jacket helps identify the run in a crowded rack or desk setup.

Shielding limits alien crosstalk

Foil shielding covers 100 % of the pairs while a copper braid adds 40 % coverage. This construction reduces electromagnetic interference in dense cable bundles or near power lines. The 26 AWG stranded conductors remain flexible for routing around corners.

Replaces unshielded Cat5e runs

The shielded Cat6 design supports higher bandwidth than unshielded Cat5e cables. It is worth the upgrade when the path passes fluorescent lights, motors or parallel data cables. Buyers who need longer distances or outdoor burial should choose a cable rated for those environments.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 12 ft red Cat6 cable or a different length for my desk-to-router run?

This exact model is a 12 ft red Cat6 patch cable with RJ-45 male ends on both sides. Choose it when the distance between your device and the switch or router is close to 3.65 metres. If the gap is shorter or longer, select the matching length from the same series to avoid excess slack or tension.

Will this Cat6 shielded cable actually deliver gigabit speeds on my home network?

The cable meets Cat6 specifications with 26AWG bare copper conductors, full aluminum foil shielding and 40% copper braid. In a real machine it will carry 1 Gbps Ethernet reliably up to its full 12 ft length, provided the router, switch and network card also support gigabit operation.

What does the RJ-45 connector with nickel-plated shell and gold contacts cap in practice?

The RJ-45 plugs are gold-plated on the contact pins and nickel-plated on the shell, with a snagless boot. This combination resists corrosion and protects the latch during repeated insertions, so the physical connection stays reliable for the cable's lifetime.
