C2G 0.5ft Cat6 Shielded Snagless Ethernet Patch Cable (Orange)

The C2G 985 is a half-foot Cat6 shielded Ethernet patch cable that creates a clean, dependable connection whenever you only need a very short run. Its shielded twisted pair construction contains electromagnetic noise before it can reach your network hardware, and the internal geometry stays consistent right up to the termination point for stable signal quality.

The snagless boot keeps the RJ-45 clip from catching or breaking when you thread the cable through a dense switch stack or a crowded patch panel. Because the cable measures just six inches, it is an easy way to tidy up excess slack between neighboring ports, link a wall plate to a desktop, or make a quick jumper inside a rack without blocking airflow.

This model meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Cat6 specification and has been tested to support 10-Gigabit Ethernet on runs up to 180 feet and 1-Gigabit Ethernet up to 328 feet, so the cable’s short length operates well within the standard’s performance envelope. The bright orange jacket stands out in mixed installations, making device tracing and port identification straightforward for both field technicians and home users.

Use the cable to connect a router to a switch, a laptop to a wall jack in a conference room, or any other situation where you want maximum bandwidth in the smallest possible space. Its compact reach and shielded design also help reduce crosstalk and clutter in high-density environments such as data centers, classroom technology carts, or audiovisual racks.
