Cables To Go 00800 Cat6 STP Patch Cable Blue 10 Feet

Cat6 shielded patch cable for high-noise networks

This Cat6 STP patch cable connects network adapters, hubs, switches, routers, DSL or cable modems and patch panels in environments with strong electromagnetic or radio-frequency interference. Shielded twisted-pair construction protects signals from external noise while bonded pairs preserve twist spacing to the termination point. Each cable is tested to ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6 component requirements. It supports voice, data and video distribution for bandwidth-intensive applications.

Snagless RJ45 connectors simplify installation

The snagless boot prevents the locking tab from catching on adjacent cables or panel ports during insertion and removal. Push the connector until it clicks; no special tools are required for standard keystone or patch-panel jacks. Common issues include forcing the latch past a misaligned port, which can bend the tab, and routing the cable past sharp edges that may damage the shield. Verify the boot clears neighbouring connections in dense panels.

Confirm length and shielding match your run

Measure the exact path between devices to ensure the 10 foot (3.04 metre) reach is sufficient without excess slack. The cable uses RJ45 male connectors on both ends, so both ports must accept standard 8P8C plugs. Shielded cable requires grounded shielded ports or patch panels to maintain EMI/RFI protection; unshielded jacks will break the shield continuity. This product is not for installers who need plenum-rated jackets, outdoor UV resistance or lengths beyond the supplied 10 feet.
