Microconnect UTP6005P networking cable Purple 0.5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP6005P U/UTP Cat6 networking cable is a 0.5 m purple patch cable designed for reliable, high-speed connections between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels or wall outlets. It supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and meets Cat6 standards with testing up to 250 MHz. The cable is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 and includes an anti-snag boot to protect the connector during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable provides tested performance up to 250 MHz and supports high data throughput up to 10000 Mbit/s. The U/UTP construction reduces interference for stable signal transmission, while backwards compatibility with Cat5e and Cat5 ensures interoperability with existing infrastructure. The integrated snuggle/anti-snag boot protects the RJ45 connector during installation and reduces the risk of damage in confined routing scenarios.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall sockets
• Short patch connections in home and small office networks
• Linking network equipment for entertainment systems and local area networks

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Connector shielding: U/UTP
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Purple
• Weight: 0.04 kg

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (switch, router or modem) and the other into the target patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place and avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors. For installations in limited space, the anti-snag boot helps guide the connector and reduces strain during routing.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs short where possible for patch connections, avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines, and do not exceed the recommended bend radius. Use this 0.5 m Cat6 cable for short interconnections within racks, desks or entertainment cabinets where a compact, color-coded patch lead is required.
