This 0.5 meter Cat6 cable meets or exceeds all Category 6 cable specifications to ensure reliable Gigabit network connections. And the cable is shielded to protect your network against electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI) and system noise to provide the perfect solution for fast and safe network connections. Constructed with 100% copper and foil shielded twisted-pair wiring this cable was built for quality performance. The cable is designed to protect the data traveling through your network and is perfect in environments with a large amount of EMI. The results are faster speeds and improved data transmission. The 50-micron gold connectors deliver optimum conductivity and eliminate signal loss due to oxidation or corrosion. For easier cable runs, the snagless connectors protect the RJ-45 clips during installation, making them less prone to snagging or breaking. This ensures a sturdy connection by preventing the cable from becoming loose from the plug. Plus, the moulded boots offer strain relief that stops the RJ-45 connector termination points from bending at sharp angles, which reduces the risk of damage to the cable that could decrease network performance. The N6SPAT50CMGR is backed by StarTech.com's lifetime warranty for guaranteed reliability.
