Ewent 3.0m Cat6 UTP networking cable Black 3 m U/UTP (UTP)

The Networking Cable Ewent 3.0m Cat6 RJ-45 U/UTP 3m Black is a 3 metre Category 6 Ethernet cable designed for reliable wired network connections. It supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends featuring gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance. The cable uses U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall unshielding) construction appropriate for typical home and office environments and comes in a black finish that blends with most installations.

Advantages

The Cat6 specification offers higher signal integrity compared with earlier categories at similar lengths, enabling consistent gigabit performance within typical LAN distances. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts reduce contact resistance and help maintain stable connections over time. The 3.0 m length provides flexibility to connect devices across desks, entertainment units, or network equipment racks without excess slack. The black jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for visible and concealed cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, laptops or network printers to a router or switch
• Wired connections for gaming consoles or smart TVs requiring stable bandwidth
• Office workstations and small server racks within a 3 m distance
• Upgrading older Cat5/Cat5e setups to Cat6 for improved throughput

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the opposite connector into the LAN port of your router, switch or modem. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure physical connection. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends, crushing, or routing the cable close to high-voltage power lines or strong electromagnetic sources. If connecting through patch panels or keystone jacks, verify both ends are fully seated and check link status on the connected equipment.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6 cable for direct device-to-switch or device-to-router links within the 3 m range. For installations in electrically noisy environments or where additional mechanical protection is required, consider shielded cabling or conduit. Periodically inspect connectors for debris and ensure gold-plated contacts remain clean to preserve connection quality.
