C2G CG27143 Cat6 Snagless Patch Cable 10 Feet Blue

Product Description

The C2G CG27143 is a 10-foot Cat6 snagless patch cable designed for structured network installations in commercial and residential settings. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during routing and removal, reducing connector damage in high-density patch panel environments. Cat6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 infrastructure. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and IT infrastructure professionals install this type of cable when terminating network drops, connecting switches, or dressing patch panels. The blue jacket aids in visual cable management and color-coded labeling schemes commonly used in telecom rooms and server closets.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal runs between patch panels and network switches, desktop connections, and equipment rack installations. It is appropriate for office networks, data centers, and light commercial applications where Cat6 performance is required. The 10-foot length gives enough slack for rack-mounted equipment without excessive cable management overhead. Blue jacket color is commonly designated for standard data connections in structured cabling systems.

Key Features

• Cat6-rated construction supports Gigabit Ethernet at standard Cat6 frequencies
• Snagless boot protects RJ45 locking tab during installation and removal in dense environments
• 10-foot length suitable for patch panel-to-switch runs and equipment connections
• Blue jacket supports color-coded cable management practices
• RJ45 connectors on both ends for standard Ethernet port compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable compatible with RJ45 Ethernet ports on network switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards following TIA-568 Cat6 standards.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically handle structured cabling terminations. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that the jacket deforms, as this degrades signal performance. Patch cables should not be used as horizontal in-wall runs where plenum or riser-rated cable is required by code. Verify cable routing does not run parallel to high-voltage conductors for extended distances per NEC guidelines.
