FAQs

What are the key features of the C2G 00861 Cat6 Ethernet cable?
The C2G 00861 is a 3-foot Cat6 Snagless Shielded (STP) Ethernet cable featuring gold and nickel-plated connectors, snagless boots, and full shielding for EMI protection. It's constructed with high-quality copper conductors, has a durable PVC jacket, and is yellow in color. The cable is fully tested to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6 standards and comes with a lifetime warranty. Its snagless design prevents unwanted cable catches during installation.
What type of connectors does this Ethernet cable use?
This cable features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends with gold and nickel plating. Each end has 1 x RJ-45 Network Male connector, ensuring reliable connectivity and optimal signal transfer. The connectors are designed with snagless boots to protect the locking tabs during installation and removal.
Is this cable shielded, and why is that important?
Yes, this is a Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable that provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and noise. The shielding is particularly important in environments with high electromagnetic activity or when running cables near power sources. This feature helps maintain signal integrity and reduces both impedance and structural return loss (SRL), making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications.
What is the maximum bandwidth supported by this Cat6 cable?
As a Cat6 cable meeting ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 standards, this cable supports bandwidth-intensive applications and is designed for high-speed networks. The individual pairs are bonded together to maintain twist-spacing throughout the line up to the termination point, which helps minimize Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels and ensures optimal performance for voice, data, and video distribution.
What is the length of this cable and what color options are available?
This specific model (00861) is 3 feet in length and comes in yellow color. The yellow color coding helps in easy identification and organization of network installations. Each cable includes an individual length label for easy identification and management.
