CableCreation CAT6 Ethernet Cable 1.6FT, Shielded 8P8C Ethernet Patch Cable

Bottom line: The CableCreation CAT6 Ethernet Cable 1.6FT: Upward-angled 8P8C plug clears wall-mounted gear without bending a straight patch cable; main trade-off: only 1.6 ft long, so it extends an existing run rather than replacing a full cable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Upward-angled 8P8C plug clears wall-mounted gear without bending a straight patch cable
  • ✓ FTP shield combines aluminum-PET foil with a drain wire to block EMI near power equipment
  • ✓ Carries 250 MHz bandwidth and 1000 Mbps for gigabit routers, switches, NAS, and PoE gear
  • ✓ 24-month product replacement warranty plus lifetime technical support

Cons

  • ✗ Only 1.6 ft long, so it extends an existing run rather than replacing a full cable
  • ✗ Fixed upward angle is wrong for ports that need a downward or sideways exit
  • ✗ Rated to 1000 Mbps, so no stated multi-gig support for 2.5G or 10G ports
  • ✗ FTP shielding only pays off if the mating cable and network gear are shielded too

Manufacturer description

Reach matters more than length when an Ethernet run ends just short of the port. The CableCreation CAT6 shielded extension cable adds 1.6 feet of 8P8C male-to-female patch, and its upward-angled plug lets you connect gear pushed flat against a wall, tucked behind furniture, or stacked in a network closet without bending a straight cable past its radius. Inside, FTP construction pairs a laminated aluminum-PET foil shield with a drain wire, so twisted-pair signal stays stable next to power bricks, PDUs, and switch fans. The cable carries bandwidth up to 250 MHz and data rates up to 1000 Mbps…

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is this CableCreation Ethernet extension cable?

It is 1.6 feet, roughly 19 inches. It is an 8P8C male-to-female extension meant to add reach to an Ethernet cable you already have, not to replace a full-length patch cable.

Does it support gigabit speeds?

Yes. The cable supports bandwidth up to 250 MHz and data transfer up to 1000 Mbps, which covers gigabit routers, switches, NAS units, and other LAN/WAN gear.

Which way does the angled connector face?

The male connector is upward angled. That routing is designed for tight spaces such as behind furniture, in a network closet, or against a wall where a straight plug would be bent too sharply.

Is it compatible with Cat5e and Cat7 cables?

Yes. It connects to UTP, FTP, and STP Cat 6 cable and is backward compatible with Cat 5 and Cat 5e. It also works with Cat 7 cable, though the link runs at Cat 6 speeds.

What warranty does CableCreation include?

CableCreation lists a 24-month product replacement warranty plus lifetime technical support with this cable. Check the product listing for the current warranty terms at the time you order.
