C2G CG00821 Cat6 Snagless Stp Patch Cable 20 Feet

Product Description

The C2G / Cables to Go - Legrand CG00821 is a 20-foot Cat6 shielded twisted pair (STP) snagless patch cable designed for structured cabling and network infrastructure applications. The shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk in environments with high RF noise, such as industrial floors, server rooms, and data closets. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab from catching or breaking during cable routing and termination work, extending the service life of each connection. Electricians, low-voltage contractors, and IT infrastructure technicians install this cable for horizontal runs, patch panel connections, and equipment rack wiring.

This patch cable is suited for structured wiring in commercial and light industrial environments where shielded cabling is required by specification or code. Typical install scenarios include server room patch panels, network switches, and workstation drops where Cat6 performance and shielding are needed. The 20-foot length covers mid-range rack-to-rack or panel-to-switch distances without excess slack management. It ships as a single cable and is ready to install out of the package.

Key Features

• 20-foot STP Cat6 construction provides shielding against EMI and crosstalk
• Snagless boot design protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and routing
• Cat6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth network applications
• Shielded twisted pair (STP) suitable for environments with elevated electrical noise
• RJ45 connectors on both ends, ready for immediate termination into patch panels or network equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for Cat6 STP structured cabling installations using RJ45-terminated patch panels, switches, and network interface equipment.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage contractors and electricians should verify that the shielded cable and connected equipment share a common ground to prevent ground loop issues inherent to STP installations. Route cables away from high-voltage conduit runs where possible, following TIA-568 spacing guidelines. No special tools beyond a standard cable management kit are required for patch cable installation. Always inspect the RJ45 connector and locking tab before seating to confirm a full click engagement.
