C2G CG00711 Cat6a Snagless Patch Cable 6 Feet Black

Product Description

The C2G CG00711 is a 6-foot Cat6a snagless unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable finished in black. Cat6a cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it a reliable choice for high-bandwidth network runs in both structured cabling installations and direct equipment connections. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and cable management, reducing the chance of accidental disconnection. Network technicians, low-voltage installers, and IT professionals use this cable for patch panel to switch connections, workstation drops, and server room tie cables.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal runs within network closets, data centers, and commercial or residential structured wiring installations. It works with Cat6a keystone jacks, patch panels, and switch ports that accept a standard RJ45 connector. The 6-foot length is a common choice for equipment rack connections and short horizontal device-to-wall-plate links where slack management is a priority.

Key Features

• Cat6a specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 500 MHz bandwidth
• Snagless molded boot protects the RJ45 latch tab during routing and removal
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction for standard structured cabling environments
• 6-foot length suits rack-to-patch-panel and short equipment connections
• Black jacket for easy visual identification in multi-cable installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard RJ45 Cat6a patch cable compatible with Cat6a, Cat6, and Cat5e ports and patch panels that accept an 8P8C RJ45 connector.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage network installers and IT technicians handle installation of patch cables. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware. Ensure the destination port and patch panel are rated Cat6a or higher to realize full 10GbE performance. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not route alongside high-voltage conductors without proper separation per NEC guidelines.
