Microconnect B-UTP6015O networking cable Orange 1.5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP6015O RJ-45 Cat6 1.5m Orange is a 1.5 metre U/UTP network patch cable designed for wired connections between network devices such as switches, modems and routers or for linking to patch panels and wall outlets. It supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz, is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5, and is terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable comes in a distinctive orange colour and includes latch protection on the connectors to reduce the risk of damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable provides tested performance up to 250 MHz and supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s when used within appropriate network equipment. The U/UTP construction reduces interference, and RJ-45 terminations with latch protection improve durability during repeated installation or routing. Backwards compatibility with Cat5e/Cat5 makes it suitable for mixed networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers or modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office LAN connections
• Entertainment systems and wired media streaming

Key specifications

• Length: 1.5 m
• Standard: Cat6 (tested to 250 MHz)
• Maximum data rate: 10000 Mbit/s (depending on equipment)
• Shielding: U/UTP
• Connectors: RJ-45 – RJ-45 with latch protection
• Colour: Orange
• Weight: 0.04 kg

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (for example a switch, router or modem) and the other into the destination port such as a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from strong sources of electrical interference. For best performance, use appropriate Cat6-capable network hardware and keep cable runs within recommended length limits for the application.

Recommendations

For stable Gigabit and higher-speed links, pair this Cat6 cable with Cat6-compliant equipment and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines. When installing in confined spaces, press the latch gently to prevent connector damage; the cable's latch protection is intended to reduce but not eliminate the risk of snags.
