DSIT CAT 6 U/UTP Network Patch Cable, 5 m, Pink, CCA, RJ45

For network technicians and home users who need a dependable wired connection, this DSIT CAT 6 cable links computers, routers, and switches over a 5-meter span. The pink jacket makes it easy to identify in crowded patch panels or behind desks, while the U/UTP construction keeps the cable flexible for tight bends and cable management.

Why choose it

This cable delivers Gigabit speeds with low crosstalk thanks to CAT 6 specification and precise twisting of the four pairs. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors resist corrosion and ensure reliable contact over many insertions. The stranded conductors make the cable more flexible than solid-core alternatives, reducing the risk of breakage when routing around corners. CCA material keeps the cable lightweight and cost-effective while still meeting performance requirements for typical indoor runs up to 5 meters.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting a desktop PC to a wall outlet or switch in an office
• Linking a smart TV, game console, or streaming box to a router
• Extending a network connection in a home lab or small server cabinet
• Colour-coding network segments for easy troubleshooting

Good to know

The cable operates reliably in temperatures from -20°C to 60°C and can be stored from -20°C to 75°C. It is backward compatible with CAT 5e and CAT 5 networks. For best performance, avoid sharp bends with a radius smaller than four times the cable diameter. The pink colour is not just aesthetic—it helps you trace connections quickly in dense installations.
