Ethernet patch cable ShiverPeaks Cat6 U/UTP RJ-45 0.5 m Blue

The ShiverPeaks Ethernet patch cable Cat6 U/UTP RJ-45 0.5 m in blue is a short patch lead intended for Category 6 network connections. It supports gigabit Ethernet speeds and is built to meet Cat6 performance parameters for reliable data transmission between LAN devices, switches and patch panels. The slim, half‑metre length makes it suitable for short‑reach connections in dense rack environments, wall outlets or desktop setups where space is limited and a compact, low‑profile cable is preferred.

Advantages

This Cat6 U/UTP patch cable provides stable signal transmission and reduced crosstalk consistent with Category 6 standards while maintaining a slim, flexible profile for neat cable management. The molded RJ‑45 connectors ensure secure mechanical and electrical contact, and the short 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable in rack or patch panel installations. The blue jacket allows easy visual identification among other network lines and contributes to organized cable routing.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels within server racks
• Connecting network devices on desks where short cable runs are required
• Home network links between routers, NAS or media players over short distances
• Dense cabling scenarios where a slim, low‑profile cable reduces clutter

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (U/UTP, unshielded twisted pair with overall slim design)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 on both ends, molded strain relief
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: Blue
• Suitable for: Gigabit Ethernet and lower frequencies defined for Cat6 cabling
• Cable profile: Slim/flat for tight spaces and improved management

How to use

Insert one RJ‑45 connector into the network port of the first device and the other connector into the target port on a switch, router or patch panel until the latch clicks. Use the 0.5 m length to make direct, short connections; avoid sharp bends near the connectors and do not place heavy objects on the cable to prevent deformation. For best performance, keep the cable run within recommended Cat6 installation practices and avoid running parallel to high‑voltage power lines.

Recommendations

Use this short Cat6 patch cable for internal rack patching, switch‑to‑switch short links and desktop connections where excess length would create clutter. For longer runs, choose appropriate longer Cat6 cables and ensure connectors and outlets are rated for Cat6 performance.
