DSIT CAT6a U/UTP 100% Copper Ethernet Patch Cable, 0.5m, Orange, 10Gbps, 500MHz, RJ45 (DC-U6A6-005)

In a busy office or data center, a short, reliable patch cable is essential for connecting servers, switches, and patch panels without excess clutter. The DSIT CAT6a U/UTP Ethernet Patch Cable delivers 10 Gigabit performance in a compact 0.5-meter length, ideal for high-density rack installations and direct device connections. Its 100% pure copper conductors ensure superior signal integrity and lower resistance compared to copper-clad alternatives, while the unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) design reduces crosstalk in environments with minimal electromagnetic interference.

Key specifications

• Compliance: TIA/EIA-568-C.2

Why choose it

This cable is engineered for high-speed networking where every meter counts. The pure copper conductors minimize attenuation and ensure stable 10Gbps transmission over short distances, while the 500MHz bandwidth supports demanding applications like video streaming, large file transfers, and virtualization. The slim, flexible PVC jacket and snagless boot design make installation easy in tight spaces, and the vibrant orange color allows for quick identification of network segments.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting servers to switches in data center racks
• Linking patch panels to network equipment in structured cabling
• High-performance workstation connections in offices
• Home network setups requiring short, reliable links
• Temporary connections for testing and diagnostics

Good to know

The U/UTP design is best suited for environments with low electromagnetic interference; for high-noise areas, consider shielded alternatives. The 0.5-meter length is perfect for adjacent ports, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow. This cable is part of DSIT's professional series, ensuring consistent quality and performance. It is also compliant with RoHS and WEEE directives, making it an environmentally responsible choice.
