C2G CG31342 Cat6 Snagless Patch Cable 5 Feet Black

Product Description

The C2G CG31342 is a 5-foot Cat6 snagless patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential environments. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during routing and termination, reducing connector damage in high-density patch panel applications. Cat6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 infrastructure. The black jacket allows for clear visual organization in mixed-cable environments. This cable is a standard choice for network technicians connecting switches, patch panels, routers, and workstations.

The CG31342 is suited for use in server rooms, telecom closets, office workstations, and light commercial network installations. It is appropriate for any application requiring a short, pre-terminated Cat6 patch cable between active equipment and a patch panel port or wall jack. The 5-foot length suits rack-mounted equipment connections where a short run is needed.

Key Features

• Cat6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and 10/100 Ethernet
• Snagless boot design protects RJ45 locking tab during installation and removal
• 5-foot length suited for short rack or workstation runs
• Black jacket for visual cable management and color-coding
• Pre-terminated with RJ45 connectors on both ends, ready to install

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for use with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 patch panels, switches, routers, and network interface equipment using RJ45 ports.

Installation Notes

Network technicians should route patch cables with adequate slack to avoid stress on the RJ45 connectors. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable, as this can degrade signal integrity. Ensure the locking tab is fully seated and audibly clicks into the RJ45 port before routing. No special tools are required for installation of pre-terminated patch cables.
