FAQs

What are the key features of the C2G 00873 Cat6 Ethernet cable?
The C2G 00873 is a 25-foot Cat6 Snagless Shielded (STP) Ethernet cable featuring gold-plated contacts, nickel-plated connectors, and a snagless boot design. It's specifically engineered for high-speed network connections with shielding to protect against EMI/RFI interference. The cable is molded with a durable PVC jacket, includes male RJ-45 connectors on both ends, and comes in yellow for easy network identification. It's fully tested to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6 component requirements and backed by a lifetime warranty.
What type of shielding does this ethernet cable use and why is it important?
This cable uses Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) shielding, which provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). The shielding is crucial for maintaining signal integrity in environments with high electromagnetic activity or when running cables near power sources. This protection helps minimize Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels and structural return loss (SRL), ensuring reliable high-speed data transmission for bandwidth-intensive applications.
What are the connector specifications of the C2G 00873 cable?
The cable features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts and nickel-plated connectors. The gold plating ensures optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the nickel plating provides durability. The connectors include a snagless boot design to prevent catching during installation and removal. Each connector is molded to ensure durability and maintain the cable's internal twist spacing up to the termination point.
Is this cable suitable for high-speed network applications?
Yes, this Cat6 cable is ideal for high-speed network applications. It meets ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements and is designed to handle bandwidth-intensive applications. The shielded construction, combined with bonded pairs and quality materials, helps reduce impedance and structural return loss (SRL). The cable supports high-speed data transmission for voice, data, and video distribution, making it suitable for modern network infrastructure needs.
What is the maximum length and color options for this cable?
This specific model (00873) is 25 feet long and comes in yellow color. The yellow color coding helps in easy identification and organization of network cables in complex installations. Each cable includes an individual length label for easy identification. While this model is yellow, C2G offers this cable in various colors to facilitate color-coding in network installations.
