Microconnect UTP6003R networking cable Red 0.3 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP6003R Red Cat6 0.3m is a short patch cable designed to connect network devices such as switches, modems or routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. This Cat6 U/UTP cable supports the Cat6 standard with testing up to 250 MHz and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 cabling. The 0.3 m length and red jacket make it suitable for short connections and easy visual identification in small office, home network and entertainment setups.

Advantages

The cable supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s when used in appropriate network environments and meets Cat6 performance specifications up to 250 MHz. It uses a U/UTP construction and features latch protection on the RJ45 connector to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces. Compact length and bright red colour simplify cable management and identification in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switch, router or modem and patch panel
• Home and small office network links
• Connecting devices in entertainment systems and AV racks

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6, tested up to 250 MHz
• Peak data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (depending on network equipment)
• Shielding: U/UTP
• Length: 0.3 m
• Colour: Red
• Connector: RJ45 with latch protection
• Compatibility: Backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network device (switch, router or modem) and the other into the target port on a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place and that the latch protection is intact. For reliable performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources.

Recommendations

For optimal results use this Cat6 patch cable for short runs within racks or between nearby equipment. Verify that connected devices and patch panels support the intended network speeds and maintain correct cable routing to minimise interference and mechanical strain.
