C2G 3ft (0.9m) Cat6a Snagless Unshielded (UTP) Slim Ethernet Network Patch Cable, Purple

Overview

The C2G C2G30189 is a Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed for short connections, measuring three feet in length. It serves as a reliable link for network setups inside racks, behind conference room displays, or between desktops and wall plates. With a slim profile created by 28 AWG unshielded twisted pair conductors, it bends easily and helps maintain airflow in dense installations. This cable supports data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 328 feet, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications including Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Voice over IP (VoIP) devices.
