C2G CG00742 Cat6a Snagless Patch Cable Aqua 3ft

Product Description

The C2G CG00742 is a Cat6a snagless unshielded (UTP) patch cable designed for high-speed network installations. Measuring 3 feet in length and finished in aqua, this cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications and is built to meet Cat6a performance standards. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and routing, reducing the risk of connector damage in dense patch panel environments. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable for structured cabling work in data centers, server rooms, telecom closets, and commercial office buildouts.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and equipment-room connections in both commercial and light industrial settings. It is commonly used to connect switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface equipment. The aqua jacket color aids in visual cable management and lane identification in high-density installations. It ships as a single cable and is ready to install out of the box with no field termination required.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance rating supports 10GbE at frequencies up to 500 MHz
• Snagless boot protects RJ45 tab during installation and removal
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction for standard structured cabling environments
• Aqua jacket color supports color-coded cable management practices
• 3-foot length suited for short equipment-to-panel or device-to-switch runs
• Factory-terminated with molded RJ45 connectors on both ends

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for use with Cat6a and backward-compatible Cat6 or Cat5e network infrastructure including patch panels, switches, routers, and wall jacks using standard RJ45 8P8C ports.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically handle Cat6a patch cable installation. No tools are required for this factory-terminated cable. Ensure the patch panel or switch port is powered down or that port activity will not be disrupted before connecting or disconnecting live network equipment. Route cables with appropriate bend radius and avoid sharp kinks to maintain signal integrity.
