C2G CG31347 Cat6 Snagless Patch Cable 5 Feet Purple

Product Description

The C2G CG31347 is a 5-foot Cat6 snagless patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Built to Category 6 standards, it supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission across patch panels, switches, routers, and wall jacks. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during routing and removal, reducing connector damage in high-density patch environments. The purple jacket aids in color-coded cable management schemes commonly used by network technicians to identify circuit type or VLAN assignment at a glance.

This patch cable is suited for data center patching, telecom room cross-connects, office workstation drops, and AV or security system data runs. It is a short-run cable intended for equipment rack patching and panel-to-switch connections. The 5-foot length covers standard rack unit spacing without excess slack. Network technicians, low-voltage installers, and IT professionals handling structured cabling work are the primary users.

Key Features

• Cat6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet and 550 MHz bandwidth performance
• Snagless boot protects RJ45 tab during installation and removal in dense patch environments
• 5-foot length suits rack and panel patching without excessive cable slack
• Purple jacket supports color-coded cable management and circuit identification
• RJ45 connectors on both ends for standard Ethernet equipment termination

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on Ethernet switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards meeting TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 specifications.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage installers and network technicians install this cable without special tools beyond a cable management plan. No power shutoff is required for patching, though industry best practice recommends following site change-control procedures before modifying live network connections. Route cables with consistent bend radius and avoid sharp edges or tight cable ties that can degrade Cat6 performance. Reference TIA-568 standards for structured cabling best practices.
