Shielded Construction Delivers EMI Protection

The robust shielded twisted pair (STP) design provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference in dense networking environments. Each conductor pair maintains precise twisting ratios through the advanced bonding process, ensuring optimal signal quality across the full 10-foot length. The snagless connector design streamlines installation while the sturdy strain relief boot prevents cable damage at the critical termination point.

Technical Specifications

  • STP construction blocks external EMI/RFI interference
  • Bonded pair technology maintains precise twist ratios
  • Strain relief boot protects cable at termination point

Applications

  • Industrial network deployments with high EMI
  • Dense rack environments requiring signal isolation
  • Mission-critical network infrastructure

FAQs

What are the key features of the C2G 00681 Cat6a network cable?
The C2G 00681 is a 10ft Cat6a Snagless Shielded (STP) network patch cable featuring gold and nickel-plated connectors, snagless boots, and full shielding for EMI protection. It's designed for 10GBase-T networks, has stranded copper conductors, and includes molded connectors. The cable meets ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a standards and comes with a lifetime warranty. Its blue PVC jacket helps with network identification, and the snagless design prevents connector damage during installation.
What type of connections does this cable have?
This cable features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends with gold and nickel plating for optimal connectivity and corrosion resistance. Each end has snagless boots to protect the connector tabs during installation and removal. The connectors are molded for durability and are compatible with standard RJ-45 network ports found on devices like switches, routers, modems, and network cards.
Is this cable suitable for 10 Gigabit networks?
Yes, this Cat6a cable is specifically designed for 10GBase-T networks and supports full 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. The shielded twisted pair (STP) construction and advanced engineering help minimize both impedance and structural return loss (SRL), making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications. It's fully tested to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements for reliable 10Gb performance.
What kind of shielding does this cable provide?
This cable features full STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) shielding, which provides comprehensive protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and noise. The shielding helps maintain signal integrity in environments with high electromagnetic activity. Each pair is bonded together to maintain proper twist-spacing throughout the cable length, which further reduces Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels.
What devices can I use this cable with?
The C2G 00681 is compatible with a wide range of network devices including network adapters, hubs, switches, routers, DSL/cable modems, and patch panels. It's particularly well-suited for devices with 10GBase-T ports and can be used in any application requiring Cat6a performance, such as data centers, server rooms, or high-performance workstations.
