C2G 8ft (2.4m) Cat6a Snagless Unshielded (UTP) Slim Ethernet Network Patch Cable, Black

Overview

The C2G C2G30146 is an 8 ft Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed to provide fast and reliable network connections while maintaining a slim profile for easy installation in tight spaces. It supports data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps over distances as long as 328 ft (100 m), making it suitable for high-demand applications like streaming, large file transfers, and synchronized backups. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design and 28 AWG conductors ensure efficient performance without adding bulk inside racks, desks, or cable trays.

Key features

• Slim 28 AWG conductors that improve airflow around network equipment and offer greater flexibility during installation
• Snagless boot design protects the RJ45 latch from damage when pulling the cable through raceways or behind walls
• Gold-plated RJ45 connectors provide a stable and corrosion-resistant signal path for consistent network performance
• Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as access points and VoIP phones, delivering both data and power on a single cable
• Durable construction backed by a lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term reliability in professional and home environments
• Black color and slim profile help the cable blend discreetly into most setups without cluttering the workspace

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device that supports Cat6a or lower Ethernet standards, including switches, patch panels, routers, PoE access points, and VoIP phones. Its RJ45 connectors ensure easy plug-and-play installation across a wide range of networking equipment commonly found in data centers, offices, and home networks.

Installation and setup

The slim 28 AWG conductors allow the cable to fit neatly into crowded cable trays and behind desks without restricting airflow around sensitive equipment. The snagless boot protects the connector latch during installation, reducing the risk of damage when routing the cable through tight spaces or conduits. This makes setup straightforward and helps maintain a clean, organized network environment.

Ideal uses and environments

This Cat6a patch cable is well suited for data centers, office networks, conference rooms, and home offices where high-speed, reliable connections are essential. It works especially well in setups that require Power over Ethernet devices or where space constraints demand a cable that is both slim and flexible. Its black color and discreet design help it blend into professional and residential environments alike.
