C2G 12ft (3.6m) Cat6a Snagless Unshielded (UTP) Slim Ethernet Network Patch Cable, Gray

Overview

The C2G C2G30121 is a 12-foot Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed to provide high-speed network connections with a slim and flexible profile. It supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 328 feet, making it suitable for demanding environments like data centers, office networks, and home setups. The cable’s unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design and 28 AWG conductors keep the jacket nearly 40 percent narrower than typical Cat6a cables, which helps maintain neat cable management and improves airflow in dense installations.

Key features

• Slim profile created by 28 AWG conductors reduces cable bulk and eases routing in tight spaces.
• Supports 10 Gbps data speeds, ensuring fast and reliable connections for Power over Ethernet (PoE), VoIP phones, and wireless access points.
• Snagless boot design protects the RJ45 latch from accidental damage and provides strain relief during installation.
• Unshielded twisted pair construction offers flexibility and is ideal for environments where shielding is not required.
• Gray jacket color helps with visual identification and organization in complex network setups.
• Gold plated contacts on RJ45 connectors ensure consistent signal quality and reduce corrosion over time.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is compatible with a wide range of network devices including switches, servers, desktop computers, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. Its Cat6a rating ensures it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks, making it a strong choice for both enterprise and home office environments. The unshielded design is well suited for installations where electromagnetic interference is minimal or controlled.

Ideal uses and environments

The slim and flexible design fits well in high-density racks and patch panels where space is limited and airflow is critical. It also works effectively for extending network connections across conference tables or tidying up cable bundles behind routers in home offices. This cable is a practical option for IT professionals and network installers who need reliable performance without the bulk of standard Cat6a cables.
