C2G 25ft (7.6m) Cat6 Snagless Shielded (STP) Ethernet Network Patch Cable, Gray

Overview

The C2G 788 is a 25-foot Cat6 shielded Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver stable and high-speed network connections while minimizing noise and electromagnetic interference. Its shielded twisted pair (STP) construction helps maintain signal integrity by reducing impedance and structural return loss, making it suitable for voice, data, and video transmission in both home and office environments. The cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to power compatible devices through the network connection.

Key features

• Shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference and noise for clearer data transmission
• Snagless PVC jacket protects the cable during installation and everyday use, preventing damage to connectors
• Bonded pairs maintain optimal twist spacing to minimize Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and improve signal quality
• Compatible with PoE, enabling power delivery to devices such as IP cameras and VoIP phones
