LogiLink CQ2013U CAT 6 U/UTP Patch Cable, 0.25 m, Black, LSZH, Snagless

In a crowded server room, where every inch of rack space matters, a short, reliable patch cable is the difference between a tidy setup and a tangled mess. The LogiLink CQ2013U CAT 6 U/UTP patch cable, just 0.25 metres long, is built for exactly that: connecting network devices that sit side by side, from patch panels to switches, without excess cable clutter. Its black LSZH jacket blends into professional environments, while the snagless boots protect the locking tabs during frequent re-plugging.

Why choose it

This cable delivers full CAT 6 performance in an ultra-short length, ideal for high-density patching. The LSZH jacket ensures low smoke and zero halogen emissions in case of fire, making it suitable for public buildings and enclosed spaces. Snagless boots protect the connector clips, extending cable life in dynamic environments. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain signal integrity.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting patch panels to switches in racks and cabinets
• Linking adjacent network devices in server rooms or data centres
• Short runs in structured cabling systems where cable management is critical
• Use in offices, schools, and other environments requiring flame-retardant cabling

Good to know

The cable is RoHS compliant and supports 10GBASE-T up to 55 metres (full CAT 6 specification), though at 0.25 m it is intended for very short links. The stranded copper conductors provide flexibility for tight bends without performance loss. The black colour keeps installations looking clean and professional.
