C2G 5m Cat6 Booted Unshielded UTP Network Patch Cable Black

The C2G 5m Cat6 Booted Unshielded UTP Network Patch Cable provides high-bandwidth connectivity for transferring video, audio and data. This 5 meter Cat6 cable features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a moulded snagless boot that prevents connector snags during installation while offering strain relief. It is a direct upgrade from Cat5e cabling when greater bandwidth and improved performance are required, and the black colour makes it suitable for many network environments.

Advantages

Cat6 performance up to 550 MHz supports faster data transfer and reduced crosstalk compared with older cable categories. The unshielded UTP design provides reliable connectivity for typical office and home networks, and the booted, snagless connector protects the plug during routing and patching. The 5 m length offers flexibility for connecting switches, routers and devices without excess cable clutter.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable between network devices and insert the RJ-45 connectors into the appropriate ports on switches, routers or networked devices. Ensure the moulded snagless boot aligns with cable guides or cable management panels to avoid pulling on the connector. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as large transformers or unshielded power cables.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6 patch cable as a replacement for Cat5e where additional bandwidth is needed; select appropriate cable lengths and maintain bend radius recommendations to preserve signal integrity.
