C2G 250ft Cat6 Shielded Snagless Ethernet Cable (Blue)

Overview

The C2G 43123 is a 250 foot Cat6 shielded Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable, high-speed network connections over long distances. It supports gigabit data rates and is optimized for Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones without additional power lines. The cable’s full shielding and 23 AWG solid conductors ensure signal integrity and reduce interference, even in electrically noisy environments.

Key features

• Full shielding protects each twisted pair from external electrical noise and reduces near-end crosstalk for stable data transmission.
• Bonded 23 AWG solid conductors maintain consistent twist spacing, preserving signal quality across the entire 250-foot length.
• Snagless boot design prevents the latch from catching on cable trays, pull strings, or connectors during installation, reducing damage risk.
• Meets TIA EIA Cat6 standards to support high-definition media streams and HDBaseT extenders requiring high bandwidth.
• Durable blue PVC jacket withstands daily handling in commercial, industrial, and residential settings, ensuring long-term reliability.
• Optimized for Power over Ethernet, allowing network devices to receive power and data through a single cable.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is compatible with any device or network infrastructure that supports Cat6 Ethernet connections, including switches, routers, patch panels, and networked devices requiring gigabit speeds. Its shielding and construction make it especially suitable for environments with high electromagnetic interference, such as manufacturing floors or data centers.

Installation and setup

The snagless boot design simplifies installation by protecting the RJ45 connector latch from damage when pulling the cable through conduits or cable trays. The cable’s flexibility and durable jacket allow it to slide easily through tight spaces while maintaining performance. It can be terminated directly to patch panels or network devices, providing a straightforward setup for long-distance network runs.

Ideal uses and environments

This cable works well in commercial offices, industrial control cabinets, and residential home theater setups where long cable runs are necessary. Its shielding and solid conductors make it a strong choice for electrically noisy environments that demand consistent gigabit throughput without signal degradation. It is also well suited for powering PoE-enabled devices, reducing the need for separate power wiring.
