C2G CG00745 Cat6a Snagless Stp Patch Cable 6 Feet

Product Description

The C2G CG00745 is a 6-foot Cat6a snagless shielded twisted pair (STP) patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and light industrial environments. Cat6a cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it a common choice when upgrading network infrastructure beyond the Cat6 standard. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 latch during installation and cable management, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and network infrastructure installers are the primary trades that work with this cable.

This patch cable is suited for data center patching, server room connections, switch-to-patch-panel runs, and workstation drops in structured cabling systems. The STP construction provides shielding against electromagnetic interference, making it appropriate for environments with dense electrical equipment, industrial controls, or other potential EMI sources. At 6 feet in length, it fits standard rack-to-rack and patch panel applications without excess cable slack.

Key Features

• Cat6a specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth
• Shielded twisted pair (STP) construction reduces electromagnetic interference
• Snagless boot protects RJ45 latch during installation and daily use
• 6-foot length suits rack patching and short structured cabling runs
• Sold as a single cable (quantity per unit: 1)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for use with Cat6a-rated patch panels, wall jacks, and network switches in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers should verify that termination hardware is rated Cat6a or higher before deploying this cable in 10GbE applications. STP cables require a grounded shield connection at the patch panel or jack to provide effective EMI rejection — floating shield connections reduce shielding effectiveness. Follow TIA-568 standards for cable routing, bend radius, and patch cord management in structured cabling installations.
