C2G CG00866 Cat6 Snagless Stp Cable 8in Yellow

Product Description

The C2G CG00866 is a shielded Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for structured cabling and network infrastructure applications. At 8 inches in length, this snagless STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable delivers Cat6-rated performance with the added benefit of EMI shielding, making it well-suited for environments where signal integrity is a priority. The molded, snagless boot protects the RJ45 latch during installation and removal, reducing connector wear in high-density patch environments. Network technicians and low-voltage installers rely on this cable for clean, short-run connections between patch panels, switches, and adjacent equipment.

This cable is used in residential and commercial network installations where a short, shielded Cat6 connection is required. Typical applications include data center patch runs, server rack wiring, and high-density panel connections where cable management space is limited. The yellow jacket provides quick visual identification in multi-cable installations. It is sold as a single cable per unit.

Key Features

• Cat6 shielded twisted pair (STP) construction for EMI resistance
• Snagless molded boot protects RJ45 latch during installation and removal
• 8-inch length suited for short patch runs and tight rack environments
• Yellow jacket for visual cable identification in multi-port installations
• RJ45 connectors on both ends for standard Ethernet equipment compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 STP patch cable compatible with RJ45 Ethernet ports on switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards meeting Cat6 or Cat5e infrastructure standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management equipment. Ensure the RJ45 connectors are fully seated at both ends before securing cables. Follow TIA-568 cabling standards for structured network installations.
