Ethernet patch cable Gembird Cat6 U/UTP (UTP) 2 m, RJ-45, black

Gembird Cat6 U/UTP Ethernet patch cable, 2 m long, with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. This cable follows the Cat6 standard and is designed for short-run Gigabit Ethernet connections in homes and offices. The unshielded U/UTP (UTP) construction and stranded conductor make it flexible and easy to route between devices such as routers, switches, modems and network interface cards.

Advantages

The cable provides reliable Gigabit-capable performance over typical in-room distances, using Cat6-rated twisted pairs to reduce crosstalk and support higher data rates. Its stranded conductor and moulded strain relief deliver flexibility and durability for frequent plugging and movement. Snagless boots protect the RJ-45 clip during insertion and removal, and black outer jacket offers a neutral appearance that blends with most installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers to switches or modems in home and small office networks
• Linking PCs, laptops or networked printers to wall sockets or patch panels
• Temporary cabling for events, testing or lab setups where flexibility is needed

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the source device (router, switch or modem) and plug the other end into the target device (computer, access point, patch panel or networked peripheral). Ensure connectors click into place and avoid sharp bends near the connector or along the cable run to maintain signal integrity. For permanent installations, route the cable along cable management channels or behind furniture to prevent mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable length within standard limits for horizontal cabling and avoid running it in parallel with mains power cables to reduce interference. Use this Cat6 U/UTP patch cable for short to moderate runs where flexibility and ease of handling are priorities.
