100ft (30.5m) Cat6a Snagless Unshielded UTP Ethernet Network Patch Cable - Blue
100ft blue Cat6a snagless UTP patch cable, 26AWG stranded copper, designed for 10GBase-T high-density environments
The C2G CG50879 is a 100ft (30.5 m) Cat6a snagless UTP Ethernet patch cable designed to facilitate 10 Gigabit data transmission. This cable is engineered for 10GBase-T ports and equipment, including network adapters, switches, routers, hubs, and patch panels. Unlike standard Cat6 cabling which may only support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over limited distances, this Cat6a solution supports connections up to 100 meters. It is fully tested to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a channel requirements, ensuring reliable performance in high-density switch applications where alien crosstalk is a concern. The construction features 26AWG bare copper stranded conductors with HDPE insulation and a PVC jacket. Each cable includes an individual length label for easy identification during installation and features a snagless hood to protect the RJ-45 connectors. The blue color allows for easy identification within complex network environments.
