C2G CG00819 Cat6 Snagless Stp Patch Cable 14 Feet

Product Description

The C2G CG00819 is a 14-foot Cat6 shielded twisted pair (STP) snagless patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential environments. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during routing and removal, reducing the chance of accidental disconnection or boot damage. Cat6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 infrastructure. This cable is a standard tool-of-the-trade for network technicians, low-voltage installers, and IT professionals working on data drops, patch panels, and switch connections.

The CG00819 is suited for patch panel to switch runs, workstation to wall jack connections, and equipment rack cabling in commercial offices, server rooms, and light industrial settings. At 14 feet, it covers mid-length runs between adjacent rack units or from a wall outlet to a nearby workstation. The STP construction provides an additional layer of shielding against electromagnetic interference, making it appropriate for environments with higher EMI exposure such as mechanical rooms or areas near electrical panels.

Key Features

• Cat6 rated construction supports Gigabit Ethernet performance
• Shielded twisted pair (STP) design reduces electromagnetic interference
• Snagless boot protects RJ45 locking tab during installation and removal
• 14-foot length suits mid-range patch and equipment connections
• Molded connectors provide strain relief at termination points

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 STP patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on network switches, patch panels, routers, and Ethernet-enabled devices. Backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage installers and network technicians typically install this cable without special tools beyond standard cable management hardware. Ensure both endpoints are powered down or in a safe state before replacing active patch cables in live switch or patch panel environments. Route cables away from high-voltage conduit runs per NEC low-voltage cabling guidelines to minimize interference. Do not kink or exceed the minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity.
