With a length of 3 meters, it provides flexibility in device placement without excess clutter.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting a desktop PC to a router or switch
• Linking a gaming console to a network for online gaming
• Extending a network connection to a printer or NAS device
• Setting up a temporary network for events or presentations
• Replacing worn-out or damaged patch cables in an office

Good to know

The cable is backward compatible with Cat5 and Cat3 standards, ensuring it works with older network equipment. It is not suitable for outdoor use or environments with high interference; for those, consider shielded cables. The PVC jacket is durable but not halogen-free, so it may not be ideal for plenum spaces. The cable meets TIA/EIA-568B wiring standards, ensuring consistent performance. Always handle the cable by the connectors to avoid damaging the twisted pairs.
