Short patch cable for tight device links

The Cables To Go 00980 is a six-inch Category 6 shielded patch cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. Its snagless boot protects the locking tab during frequent reconnections in dense patch panels or rack shelves. The blue jacket aids quick visual identification among other runs. It suits installers who need a minimal-length link between adjacent network ports.

Shielded construction resists interference under

The STP shielding wraps each twisted pair and the overall bundle to suppress alien crosstalk and external EMI when multiple cables run side by side. Category 6 rated conductors maintain signal integrity at gigabit speeds across the full 6-inch span. The short length keeps insertion loss negligible even during sustained high-throughput transfers. Performance stays consistent without the degradation seen on longer unshielded runs.

Low bulk reduces airflow obstruction

At only six inches the cable adds virtually no volume inside cabinets, leaving cooling paths clear for active equipment. The snagless moulding prevents accidental unseating that could cause port errors and retries. Shielded connectors ground through the panel when mated, containing radiated noise without drawing extra power. The assembly stays passive and silent throughout its service life.

Questions about this item

Does the 6in Cat6 shielded cable generate any heat or draw power when running continuously?

The cable is a passive copper link with no active components, so it produces no measurable heat and draws no power during all‑day operation.

What devices must I already have to use the RJ‑45 male connectors on this patch cable?

You need two pieces of equipment with standard RJ‑45 Ethernet ports — such as a router, switch, PC or NAS — to plug each end into.

Will the Category 6 shielding work reliably with older Cat5e or Cat5 ports I still use?

Yes, the shielded Cat6 cable is fully backward compatible and will negotiate the highest speed both ports support without any configuration.
