C2G 31346 Cat6 UTP Patch Cord – 5 ft

Overview

The C2G 31346 is a 5-foot, yellow Cat6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cord designed to provide reliable network connectivity for surveillance systems and IT infrastructure. Its snagless boot design prevents cable damage during installation and removal, ensuring a secure connection in environments where frequent patching or cable management is required. This cable is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and faster network speeds up to 10 Gbps over shorter distances, making it a practical choice for connecting network devices like cameras, switches, and NVRs.

Compatibility

This Cat6 UTP patch cord is compatible with all standard networking equipment utilizing RJ45 connectors, including but not limited to: IP cameras from brands such as Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua; network switches from Cisco, Ubiquiti, and Netgear; and network video recorders (NVRs) from various manufacturers. It supports standard Ethernet networking protocols and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards.

Installation Notes

The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector's clip from damage, which is critical for maintaining a stable connection. Ensure the cable is routed to avoid sharp bends that exceed its minimum bend radius (typically 4x cable diameter) to prevent signal degradation. The yellow color aids in visual identification and cable management within racks or bundles.
