Microconnect UTP6003 networking cable Grey 0.3 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The MicroConnect UTP6003 is a 0.3 m Cat6 UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Designed for short connections between network devices such as switches, modems, routers or patch panels, this grey cable supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. It supports data transfer speeds up to 10000 Mbit/s and includes latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in confined spaces.

Advantages

The cable provides Cat6 performance in a compact 0.3 m length, combining high data rates with reduced interference thanks to U/UTP construction. Backward compatibility with Cat5e and Cat5 ensures flexible use in mixed environments. Latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs helps prevent accidental tab breakage during installation and handling.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router, modem or switch to a patch panel or wall outlet over short distances
• Short device-to-device connections in home or small office networks
• Linking networked entertainment devices (set-top boxes, media players) to a local network

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.3 m
• Category: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: U/UTP
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Grey
• Weight: 0.008 kg

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports (for example, router to switch, switch to patch panel or device to wall outlet). Ensure connectors click into place using the latch protection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources when possible.

Recommendations

For reliable Cat6 performance, use this cable for short links under 0.3 m within racks or between adjacent devices; for longer runs choose a longer Cat6 cable. When routing in tight spaces, support the cable to avoid stress on the connectors.
