C2G 0.5ft Cat6 Shielded Ethernet Network Patch Cable (Red)

The C2G 983 is a Cat6 shielded Ethernet patch cable that measures only 0.5 feet, making it ideal when two network ports sit inches apart and extra slack would create a mess. Use it to link equipment on the same rack shelf, connect a desktop computer to a nearby switch, or patch between adjacent ports on a panel.

Its shielded twisted pair construction helps block noise and electromagnetic interference, keeping data streams clean and reliable. The cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Cat6 performance requirements and can handle 10 Gigabit speeds in a channel up to 180 feet or 1 Gigabit up to 328 feet, giving you plenty of headroom even though the segment itself is short.

A snagless boot covers the latch so it does not catch when cables are crowded together. Installers will appreciate the printed length label for quick identification, and the red jacket simplifies color-coding in larger builds where different services or VLANs need to stand out. The same series is also offered in other colors for flexible labeling schemes.

This half-foot cable fits naturally in server rooms, small business racks, classroom AV carts, and home offices. It keeps airflow clear in dense environments, reduces cable fatigue from unnecessary bending, and delivers the speed and consistency required for voice, data, video, or HDBaseT devices.
