DSIT CAT6 Network Cable 100% Copper - U/UTP - 1.5m - Orange

In a busy office, a reliable Ethernet connection can mean the difference between a smooth video conference and a frozen screen. This DSIT CAT6 network cable delivers stable Gigabit speeds over 1.5 meters, making it a practical choice for connecting a workstation to a wall outlet or patch panel. The unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) design with 100% copper conductors ensures excellent signal integrity for everyday networking tasks.

Why choose it

The 100% copper conductors offer lower resistance and better performance over longer distances compared to copper-clad aluminium (CCA) alternatives. The stranded construction makes the cable flexible and resistant to bending, ideal for tight spaces behind desks or in cable management trays. The bright orange jacket is easy to identify in crowded network closets, reducing troubleshooting time.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting computers to LAN networks in offices or homes
• Linking network switches, routers, and modems
• Short patch cable for server rooms and data centres
• Gaming consoles or smart TVs requiring stable wired connections

Good to know

This cable meets CAT6 specifications, supporting Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters in total channel length. As a U/UTP cable, it is best used in environments with low electromagnetic interference. The PVC jacket is durable and suitable for indoor use. The CM fire rating indicates it is safe for general-purpose installations in walls and riser spaces (check local codes for plenum requirements).
