Product Overview

This Category 6 Snagless Network Patch Cable supports error-free Multi Gigabit connections: 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps and 10Gbps (up to 160ft/55m). This high-performance cable offers reliable connectivity to all networking devices, such as Network Interface Cards (NIC), servers, routers, network attached storage (NAS), VoIP phones, PoE devices, etc.

The Snagless design protects the RJ45 clip and ensures the cables are easily pulled through constrained spaces such as conduits or raceways and prevents the cable from getting caught/damaged during installation.

StarTech.com offers the widest selection of lengths and colors, to keep your business network and workstations connected.
