White 2 ft Cat6 shielded patch cable

This FireFold Cat6 Ethernet cable measures 2 ft and uses white CM-rated PVC jacket. Shielded construction with 24 AWG bare copper conductors supports frequencies up to 550 MHz. RJ45 connectors on both ends feature moulded snagless half-moon boots for secure insertion. The cable is designed for indoor LAN wiring between computers, switches, routers and other network equipment.

Practical limits of Cat6 at 550 MHz

Cat6 cabling rated to 550 MHz handles Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to the standard channel distance. Shielding reduces alien crosstalk in dense bundles but does not extend the maximum installed length defined by the category. Backward compatibility with 10BaseT and 100BaseT hardware is maintained. Installers must still observe bend-radius and termination guidelines for the category.

Shielded 24 AWG stranded copper decides fit

The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors make the cable flexible for patch-panel and desktop routing. Shielded design suits environments with higher electromagnetic interference where unshielded cables may degrade. Buyers needing longer permanent-link runs or outdoor-rated jackets should select a different cable type. The 2 ft length limits use to short equipment-to-equipment connections.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2 ft white shielded cable or a different length for my desk setup?

The 2 ft white shielded Cat6 cable is ideal for short runs between a computer and a nearby switch or router where space is tight.

What does the 550 MHz rating actually deliver when the cable is plugged in?

The 550 MHz bandwidth supports full Cat6 performance up to 1 Gbps over the 2 ft distance with headroom for noise margin.

The cable is listed as shielded UTP with RJ45 plugs — what does that cap in practice?

Shielded UTP with RJ45 connectors limits alien crosstalk and fits standard Gigabit Ethernet ports without requiring grounded jacks.
