C2G 43122 Cat6 Shielded Patch Cord – 200 ft – Blue

Overview

The C2G 43122 is a 200-foot, blue, Cat6 shielded patch cable designed for network infrastructure where signal integrity is paramount. Its solid construction and shielding mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, making it suitable for environments with high levels of electrical noise or sensitive data transmission requirements. This cable ensures reliable connectivity for network devices in commercial and industrial settings.

Compatibility

This Cat6 shielded patch cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors, including network switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras. It supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards, though performance will be limited to the capabilities of the lower-rated standard. It is particularly recommended for use with network devices that require shielded connections to maintain optimal performance and prevent data errors, such as certain industrial IP cameras or high-speed network interfaces.

Installation Notes

When deploying the C2G 43122, ensure that both ends are properly terminated with RJ45 connectors. The shielding must be maintained throughout the cable run to be effective; ensure connectors are properly crimped and grounded to the cable's shield. Avoid sharp bends or kinks, as this can compromise the cable's integrity and performance. For runs exceeding 100 meters (328 feet), consider using network switches or repeaters to maintain signal strength.
