C2G 10ft (3m) Cat6a Snagless Unshielded (UTP) Slim Ethernet Network Patch Cable, Red

Overview

The C2G C2G30164 is a 10-foot Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed to provide reliable, high-speed network connections while minimizing space usage in racks or workstations. It supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps over the full 328-foot channel length specified by Cat6a standards. The cable’s slim profile and flexible 28 AWG conductors make it easy to route through tight spaces, and its bright red jacket helps quickly identify connections in complex setups.
