C2G 0.5ft Cat6 Shielded Ethernet Patch Cable (Blue)

Overview

The C2G 980 is a 0.5ft Cat6 shielded Ethernet patch cable designed to provide a stable and high-speed network connection in compact spaces. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 180 feet and 1 Gigabit Ethernet up to 328 feet, making it suitable for environments like server racks, network closets, or desktop setups where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised. The cable’s shielded twisted pair construction helps reduce noise and electromagnetic interference, ensuring consistent data transfer for voice, video, and data applications.

Key features

• Shielded twisted pair design that minimizes noise and electromagnetic interference for clearer signal transmission
• Snagless RJ-45 connectors that protect the lock tab from damage and simplify plugging and unplugging in tight spaces
• Bonded wire pairs maintain proper twist spacing to reduce near-end crosstalk and improve overall network reliability
• Compact 0.5ft length ideal for short connections in high-density or space-constrained setups
• Compliance with ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6 standards to ensure professional-grade network performance
• Multiple color options to help organize and identify cables easily in complex network environments

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is compatible with any device that supports Cat6 Ethernet connections, including switches, routers, servers, and desktop computers. Its shielded design makes it especially useful in environments with potential electromagnetic interference, such as data centers or industrial settings. The short length and snagless connectors make it a practical choice for patch panels and network closets where cables are densely packed.

Ideal uses and environments

The 0.5ft length fits well in tight spaces where longer cables would create clutter or signal degradation. It works well in server racks, network closets, and desktop setups that require short, reliable connections. This cable is a strong choice for IT professionals and home network enthusiasts who need to maintain high-speed data transfer while managing cable organization and minimizing interference.
