Microconnect B-UTP615Y networking cable Yellow 15 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP615Y RJ-45 Cat6 15 m Yellow is a 15-metre U/UTP patch cable designed for reliable wired connections between network devices such as switches, routers, modems, patch panels or wall outlets. The cable supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz and is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5, providing up to 10000 Mbit/s data rates for small office, home networks and entertainment setups. The bright yellow jacket improves visibility and the cable includes latch protection to reduce connector damage during tight installations.

Advantages

Cat6 construction tested to 250 MHz ensures higher bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with earlier categories. U/UTP shielding minimizes external interference while maintaining flexible installation. RJ-45 connectors on both ends support standard 8P8C terminations and the integrated latch protection helps prevent clip breakage when routing the cable through confined spaces. The 15 m length provides extended reach for many typical wiring scenarios.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers or modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Small office Ethernet cabling and home network setups
• Wired connections for streaming devices, smart TVs and gaming consoles
• Temporary or permanent runs where a visible cable color is helpful for identification

Key specifications

• Length: 15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 (8P8C)
• Category: Cat6, tested up to 250 MHz
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (as specified)
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded pair within overall unshielded cable)
• Colour: Yellow
• Weight: 0.298 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to a network device (for example a switch, router or modem) and the other end to the destination device, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks; the cable’s latch protection reduces the risk of clip damage when pulling through tight spaces. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from strong EMI sources where possible to preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 cable for runs up to 15 metres in typical office or home environments; for longer permanent in-wall installations consider following local cabling standards and using appropriate conduit or plenum-rated cable if required.
