C2G CG00810 Cat6 Snagless Patch Cable 3ft Black

Product Description

The C2G CG00810 is a 3-foot Cat6 snagless unshielded (UTP) patch cable finished in black. It is designed to connect network devices such as switches, routers, patch panels, and workstations in structured cabling installations. The snagless boot protects the RJ-45 locking tab during routing and removal, reducing connector damage in dense cable environments. Cat6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 infrastructure. Licensed electricians, low-voltage cabling technicians, and IT infrastructure trades install this cable in both new construction and retrofit network deployments.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal runs between wall jacks and end devices, patch panel to switch connections, and short equipment rack jumpers in residential and light commercial structured wiring applications. The 3-foot length is a common choice for rack and enclosure work where cable management space is limited and clean dressing is required.

Key Features

• Cat6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and 10GBASE-T at shorter distances
• Snagless boot protects RJ-45 latch tab during installation and removal
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design suits standard residential and commercial network environments
• 3-foot length ideal for rack-mount patch panel and switch connections
• Black jacket aids color-coded cable management in multi-circuit installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard RJ-45 Cat6 UTP patch cable compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches in typical structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers typically handle patch cable termination and routing. No special tools are required beyond proper cable management hardware. Follow TIA-568 bend radius guidelines and avoid over-cinching cable ties, which can degrade Cat6 performance. Do not exceed manufacturer-rated pull tension when routing cables through conduit or cable trays.
