C2G 3ft (0.9m) Cat6a Snagless Unshielded (UTP) Slim Ethernet Network Patch Cable, Red

Overview

The C2G C2G30161 is a 3-foot Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed to provide fast and reliable network connections. It supports data speeds up to 10Gbps over distances up to 328 feet, making it suitable for high-demand applications such as HDBaseT, Power over Ethernet (PoE), and VoIP systems. Its slim 28AWG conductors allow for flexible routing in tight spaces, helping maintain neat cable management and improved airflow.

The cable’s snagless boot protects the connector during installation, reducing the risk of damage or snags when plugging or unplugging. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design is ideal for environments with minimal electromagnetic interference, such as typical office or data center setups. The red color aids in quick identification and organization within complex network installations.
