DSIT CAT 6 Network Cable U/UTP - 0.50 m - Blue - CCA (DC-C64-005)

Short patch cables are often the missing link in tidy network setups, yet many fail to deliver stable gigabit speeds. The DSIT CAT 6 U/UTP cable closes that gap: a compact 0.5-meter length that keeps connections clean without sacrificing performance. Built for everyday networking, it handles 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet with headroom up to 250 MHz, making it a dependable choice for connecting computers, switches, routers, and patch panels in homes, offices, or server rooms.

Who is it for

This cable suits IT technicians, office managers, and home users who need a short, reliable patch lead for high-density setups. If you are wiring a patch panel to a switch, connecting a PC to a wall outlet, or simply replacing a worn-out cable, the 0.5-meter length reduces clutter and improves airflow in racks. It is also ideal for temporary connections during testing or troubleshooting.

Main features

• CAT 6 performance: supports up to 1 Gbps data transfer and 250 MHz bandwidth, ensuring smooth streaming, gaming, and file transfers.
• U/UTP unshielded twisted pair construction: four pairs of 26 AWG conductors minimize crosstalk and interference for reliable signal integrity.
• Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) conductors: a cost-effective alternative to solid copper, suitable for short runs and low-power applications.
• Durable PVC jacket: protects the cable from everyday wear, bending, and abrasion, with a blue colour for easy identification.
• RJ45 male connectors on both ends: gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and ensure a secure, stable connection.
• Short 0.5-meter length: perfect for neat patch panels, desk connections, and tight spaces where longer cables would create clutter.

Tips

For best results, avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors, as this can stress the internal wires. When using CCA cables, ensure they are not used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, as CCA has higher resistance than solid copper and may cause voltage drop. Always match the cable category to your network equipment to achieve maximum speed. Store unused cables loosely coiled to prevent kinks.
