C2G CG00808 Cat6 Snagless Stp Patch Cable 1 Ft

Product Description

The C2G CG00808 is a 1-foot Cat6 shielded twisted pair (STP) patch cable with a snagless boot, designed for structured cabling and network equipment connections in commercial and residential installations. The snagless molded boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and removal, reducing connector damage in dense patch panel environments. Cat6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet at shorter distances, making it a reliable choice for switch-to-patch-panel and device-to-switch runs. The black jacket aids in color-coded cable management.

This patch cable is used in server rooms, telecom closets, and wall-outlet-to-device runs where a short, manageable cable length is needed. The STP shielding makes it appropriate for environments with elevated electromagnetic interference, such as near electrical conduit, HVAC equipment, or industrial controls. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable for finished patch bay work, AV rack builds, and IT closet terminations.

Key Features

• Cat6 STP construction with shielded twisted pairs for EMI resistance
• Snagless molded boot protects RJ45 latch tab during installation
• 1-foot length suited for short patch runs in high-density enclosures
• Black jacket supports color-coded cable management practices
• RJ45 connectors on both ends for standard Ethernet port termination

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 STP patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on network switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards meeting TIA-568 Cat6 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. No special tools are required beyond standard patch cable handling practices. Ensure the shielded cable and its connectors are properly bonded to the rack or panel ground to realize the full benefit of STP shielding. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity.
