Cables To Go 00880 Cat6 Shielded Network Ethernet Cable Orange 5 ft 1.52 m

Shielded Cat6 patch cable for high-speed networks

This shielded Category 6 patch cable uses RJ45 connectors on both ends to link network adapters, hubs, switches, routers and HDBaseT equipment. The 5 ft orange jacket helps colour-code the installation while the foil shielding protects data signals from electromagnetic interference. Each cable is tested to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 component requirements for reliable performance.

Verify port type and required reach before ordering

Ensure both devices present standard RJ45 ports and that a 5 ft run covers the distance between them without tension. The snagless boots protect the release tabs during repeated insertion and removal. Confirm that your infrastructure uses shielded cabling practices so the drain wire can be grounded correctly at the patch panel or switch.

Low-profile design runs cool and silent

Passive copper construction draws no power and generates no heat or audible noise during operation. The bonded-pair geometry maintains consistent twist spacing to the termination point, minimising near-end crosstalk and structural return loss. Shielding reduces alien crosstalk in dense bundles, keeping signal integrity stable across the full link length.
