Cables To Go 00795 Cat6 Shielded Network Ethernet Cable Blue 5 ft 1.52 m

Cat6 shielded patch cable for short runs

This Cables To Go 00795 is a five-foot Cat6 STP patch cord with RJ45 connectors on both ends. The blue jacket uses stranded conductors and a snagless boot design to protect the locking tabs during frequent moves. It is built for indoor connections between a router, switch or wall jack and a desktop, laptop or console.

Suits fixed desks and rack patches; not long drops

The 1.52 metre length works well for equipment on the same bench or inside a single rack, keeping cable slack to a minimum. Buyers who need to cross a room, run through trunking or connect separate floors should look at longer cables instead. The shielded construction helps in electrically noisy offices but adds stiffness that can be awkward in very tight bends.

Snagless boots and stranded wire simplify fitting

Push each RJ45 plug straight into the port until the tab clicks; the moulded boot slides over the latch so it will not catch on neighbouring cables when you pull it out. Stranded cores tolerate repeated bending better than solid wire, but the foil shield means the bend radius is wider than an unshielded patch lead. Avoid kinking the cable behind furniture or crushing it under heavy rack gear.
