Microconnect B-UTP6005P networking cable Purple 0.5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP6005P is a 0.5 m purple Cat6 networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and U/UTP construction. It supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz, is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5, and is suitable for connecting switches, modems, routers or patch panels in small office, home network and entertainment setups. The cable supports high data rates and includes latch protection on the connectors to reduce the risk of damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

Cat6 performance rated to 250 MHz and compatibility with Cat5e/Cat5 ensure reliable signal transmission. U/UTP shielding reduces external interference. The short 0.5 m length minimises cable clutter for close connections, while the integrated latch protection helps prevent connector damage during installation. The purple colour allows easy identification in multi-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router, modem or switch to a patch panel or wall outlet
• Short-distance links between network devices in small offices
• Home network and entertainment device connections
• Organising and identifying cables in structured cabling setups

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to your network device (switch, router or modem) and the other RJ-45 connector to the target device, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place with the latch for a secure connection. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector and route it to prevent strain on the plugs. For best performance, use within the intended 0.5 m length and in environments compatible with U/UTP cabling.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat6 cable for short, visible connections where colour-coding and minimal slack are desired. For longer runs or environments requiring full shielding, select an appropriately rated Cat6 or higher cable with the required shielding type.
