Microconnect B-UTP605R networking cable Red 5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP605R RJ-45 Cat6 networking cable (5 m) provides a reliable wired connection between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. Built to Cat6 standard with U/UTP construction, the cable is tested up to 250 MHz and supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s while remaining backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. The red jacket helps identify connections in small office, home network and entertainment setups.

Advantages

The cable features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and U/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. It is manufactured with latch protection to prevent connector damage during installation in tight spaces. Its 5 m length provides flexibility for typical indoor wiring runs, and Cat6 compliance ensures improved performance over Cat5e for Gigabit and multi-gigabit applications.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting switches, routers or modems to patch panels and wall outlets
• Wired connections for desktop PCs, networked printers and multimedia devices
• Small office and home network installations
• Entertainment systems and media streamers requiring stable wired bandwidth

How to use

Route the Microconnect Cat6 cable between devices and terminate each end into the RJ-45 ports of the network devices, patch panel or wall jack. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks; the built-in latch protection reduces the risk of damage when pulling the cable through confined spaces. For best signal quality, avoid running the cable in parallel with power lines and maintain reasonable bend radii when routing.

Recommendations

For consistent Gigabit or multi-gigabit performance, use the cable for short to medium indoor runs (typical up to 100 m for permanent links) and pair with Cat6-compliant patch panels and switches. Test connections after installation to verify link speed and integrity.
