Ewent 5.0m Cat6 UTP networking cable Black 5 m U/UTP (UTP)

The Ewent 5.0m Cat6 RJ-45 U/UTP networking cable is a 5-metre copper patch cable designed for wired Ethernet connections up to 1000 Mbit/s. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts to improve signal transfer and reduce contact corrosion. The cable uses U/UTP construction to limit electromagnetic interference while maintaining flexibility and a discreet black outer jacket suitable for office or home installations.

Advantages

The cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and is suitable for gigabit data rates on local area networks. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance contact reliability and offer consistent electrical contact over time. The U/UTP cabling technology reduces crosstalk and external interference without additional bulk from braided shielding. A 5 m length provides room to route between devices while keeping cables neat in common setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, laptops, or network switches within small office or home networks
• Wiring routers, modems, or access points to switches for gigabit connectivity
• Temporary connections for network testing, configuration, and troubleshooting

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Cabling standard: Cat6
• Data rates supported: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Cabling technology: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with unshielded overall jacket)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device (computer, switch, router or access point) and the other connector into the corresponding network port. Ensure both devices are powered on and that network interfaces are enabled. For structured cabling, route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks, or sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Test the link speed and connectivity using the operating system network status or a network testing tool.

Recommendations

Use the cable for in-room or rack-to-rack connections where a 5 m length is sufficient. Avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-power electrical lines to reduce potential interference. Replace if connectors show signs of wear or if data errors occur; for installations requiring extra protection against interference, consider shielded cables or conduits.
