C2G CG03986 Cat6 Snagless Patch Cable 12 Feet Black

Product Description

The C2G CG03986 is a 12-foot Cat6 snagless 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 RJ45 locking tab during installation and removal, reducing connector damage in high-density environments. Cat6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 infrastructure. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable in both commercial and residential deployments where a clean, reliable copper patch connection is required.

This patch cable is suited for use in server rooms, network closets, office environments, and residential data installations. It terminates with standard RJ45 connectors on both ends, making it compatible with common switch ports, wall plates, and patch panel ports. The 12-foot length provides enough slack for rack-to-device runs and horizontal desktop connections without excess cable bulk.

Key Features

• Cat6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet throughput
• Snagless boot protects RJ45 locking tab during repeated insertions and removals
• 12-foot length suits rack and desktop patch applications
• Black jacket for easy color-coded cable management
• RJ45 connectors on both ends, compatible with standard network ports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with any Cat6, Cat5e, or Cat5 compatible RJ45 network port or patch panel in residential or commercial structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically handle this type of patch cable. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware. Ensure the RJ45 connectors are fully seated until the locking tab clicks before powering connected equipment. Route cables away from power conductors where possible to minimize electromagnetic interference, in accordance with general TIA-568 cabling guidelines.
