Comprehensive Connectivity CAT6STP-5BLK Cat6 Shielded Patch Cable

Product Description

The Comprehensive Connectivity Co. CAT6STP-5BLK is a Category 6 shielded twisted-pair (STP) Ethernet patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential environments. The snagless boot design protects the latch clip during routing and termination, reducing connector damage during pulls through conduit, raceways, and cable management systems. This cable is suited for data network runs between patch panels, switches, routers, and end devices where shielding is required to reduce electromagnetic interference in electrically noisy environments.

This patch cable is appropriate for IT, low-voltage, and data cabling contractors working in environments where Cat6 performance and STP shielding are specified. Typical applications include server rooms, network closets, AV installations, and industrial control panels where EMI from adjacent power wiring or equipment is a concern. The snagless boot makes it practical for high-density patch panel environments where cables are frequently moved or re-routed.

Key Features

• Category 6 shielded twisted-pair construction reduces electromagnetic interference
• Snagless molded boot protects the RJ45 latch clip during installation and routing
• Supports Gigabit Ethernet and standard 568 structured cabling applications
• Sold as a single cable unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 STP patch cable for use with RJ45-equipped network switches, patch panels, routers, and network interface cards in structured cabling systems meeting TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with applicable local codes and TIA-568 standards. Ensure the cable shield is properly bonded to ground at both ends when shielding continuity is required by the installation design. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not exceed the cable's rated pull tension during routing. Verify patch panel and switch ports are Cat6-compatible before termination.
