Microconnect UTP6005R networking cable Red 0.5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP6005R is a 0.5 m red Cat6 UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It supports Cat6 standard testing up to 250 MHz and is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5, providing a short, robust link between devices such as switches, modems, routers or to structured infrastructure via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable features a snagless boot to protect the connector during installation and U/UTP construction to reduce interference for reliable data transmission.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable provides high-speed data transfer up to 10000 Mbit/s and meets Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz while remaining compatible with older Cat5e/Cat5 installations. The short 0.5 m length reduces excess cable clutter in confined spaces. The snagless (boot) design protects the RJ-45 latch during routing and installation, and the red colour helps with visual identification in multi-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switch to router or modem over short distances
• Patch panel or keystone jack connections in small offices and home networks
• Connecting networked entertainment devices (set-top boxes, game consoles)
• Temporary or permanent short cable runs in racks or wall outlets

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices or into patch panel/keystone jack. Ensure the connector latch clicks into place and route the cable without excessive bending; the snagless boot protects the clip when pulling the cable through tight spaces. For best results, avoid running the cable parallel and close to power lines or strong electromagnetic sources.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat6 cable for short, direct connections where minimal cable slack and clear visual identification (red colour) are required. For longer runs or installations requiring additional shielding, choose a longer cable or a shielded variant.
