C2G 0.5ft Cat6 Shielded Snagless Ethernet Patch Cable (Orange)

Overview

The C2G 985 is a 0.5ft Cat6 shielded Ethernet patch cable designed to provide reliable and high-speed data transmission while minimizing noise and electromagnetic interference. Its shielded twisted pair construction supports bandwidth-intensive applications such as voice, data, and video distribution with consistent performance. The short length makes it ideal for connecting devices that are close together, helping reduce cable clutter and improve organization in tight spaces.

Key features

• Shielded twisted pair design that reduces interference and maintains signal integrity for stable network connections
• Snagless RJ-45 connector that protects the locking tab, preventing damage during frequent plugging and unplugging in dense network setups
• Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 180 feet and 1 Gigabit Ethernet up to 328 feet, ensuring compatibility with modern high-speed networks
• Meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Cat6 standards for reliable performance and industry compliance
• Available in multiple colors to simplify cable management and identification in complex networking environments
