20ft (6.1m) Cat6a Snagless Shielded STP Ethernet Network Patch Cable - Blue
20ft Cat6a shielded STP patch cable in blue, featuring snagless boots and 26AWG stranded copper conductors
The C2G CG00685 is a 20ft (6.1m) Cat6a Snagless Shielded STP Ethernet Network Patch Cable in blue, designed specifically for high-speed 10GBase-T environments. This cable is engineered to protect critical network connections from electromagnetic interference and noise, making it ideal for use with network adapters, switches, routers, hubs, and patch panels. Constructed with 26AWG bare copper stranded conductors and FMPE (Foam Polyethylene) insulation, the cable is fully tested to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements. The design includes individual pair bonding to maintain twist-spacing through the termination point, which minimizes Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and reduces structural return loss (SRL). For ease of identification in high-density installations, each cable features an individual length label. This shielded SSTP cable uses a 568B wiring scheme and is built with PVC jacket material and PVC connector hoods, ensuring reliable performance for bandwidth-intensive voice, data, and video distribution applications.
