Cables To Go 00845 network ethernet cable Cat6 shielded 4 ft red

Shielded Cat6 patch cable for interference-prone

This 4 ft red Cat6 cable uses foil shielding and bonded pairs to protect gigabit Ethernet from electromagnetic noise. Snagless boots guard the RJ45 tabs during repeated insertion and removal. It is built for network adapters, switches, routers and HDBaseT links that demand consistent signal quality. Fully tested to ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 component requirements.

Upgrade from unshielded Cat5e

Replace standard unshielded patch cords when runs pass fluorescent lighting, power cables or industrial equipment that inject EMI. The shield and bonded-pair construction cut near-end crosstalk and structural return loss, so the link stays at rated speed instead of renegotiating lower. The jump is worth it wherever packet errors or retries appear on unshielded cables.

Fits tight patches and color-coded racks

At 4 ft the cable suits short rack-to-panel or device-to-wall-plate hops without excess slack that blocks airflow. Red jacket lets installers colour-code VLANs, PoE segments or security zones at a glance. Individual length labels on each cable speed up documentation and future moves. Requires only standard RJ45 ports on both ends.
