Microconnect B-UTP605B networking cable Blue 5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The MicroConnect Networking Cable B-UTP605B RJ-45 Cat6 5m Blue is a 5-metre Cat6 patch cable designed for reliable wired network connections. Constructed to the Cat6 standard and tested to 250 MHz, this U/UTP cable supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and provides RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The blue jacket and compact design make it suitable for visible patching in home or small office environments, while its latch protection reduces the risk of connector damage during installation in confined spaces.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat6 specification ensures higher bandwidth and lower crosstalk compared with earlier categories, and backward compatibility with Cat5e and Cat5 devices simplifies upgrades. U/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference for more stable signal transmission. Pre-terminated RJ-45 connectors and built-in latch protection enable fast plug-and-play installation and durable performance in daily network use.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers or modems to servers and desktop computers
• Patch panels, keystone jacks and wall outlets in small office or home networks
• Wired connections for streaming, gaming and media devices
• Temporary or permanent desk-to-wall network runs where a 5 m length is appropriate

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6 (tested to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded overall, unshielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 5 m
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Blue
• Weight: 0.028 kg
• Cabling technology compatibility: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)

How to use

Route the cable between the two network devices, ensuring both ends are securely inserted into RJ-45 ports until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends and do not pinch the cable; maintain gentle curves with a bend radius greater than the cable diameter. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as mains power cables, large transformers or fluorescent lighting fixtures.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m Cat6 cable for short to medium runs in home and small office setups. When installing through conduits or tight panels, rely on the latch protection to reduce connector damage. For longer distances or installations requiring shielding against strong external interference, consider using a shielded cable variant or structured cabling solutions.
