0.5ft (0.15m) Cat6a Snagless Unshielded UTP Ethernet Network Patch Cable - Aqua
Aqua Cat6a snagless UTP patch cable, 0.5 ft (0.2 m) length, optimized for 10GBase-T high-density switch applications
The C2G CG00978 is a 0.5 ft (0.2 m) Cat6a Snagless Unshielded UTP Ethernet Network Patch Cable in Aqua. This cable is engineered to support 10 Gigabit data transmission over a 4-pair copper conductor, facilitating high-speed connections for equipment such as network adapters, hubs, switches, routers, and patch panels. Each cable is fully tested to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a channel requirements, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments. The construction features stranded bare copper conductors with 26AWG wire gauge and HDPE insulation, which provides improved alien crosstalk performance compared to standard Cat6 cabling. The snagless, booted RJ-45 male connectors are designed to protect the termination and are ideal for high-density switch applications where space is limited. This unshielded UTP cable is rated for temperatures up to 75°C and uses a PVC jacket and hood. For easy network organization, this Aqua cable can be part of a color-coded system, and each individual unit includes a length label.
