Microconnect UTP601B networking cable Blue 1 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP601B RJ-45 Cat6 1 m Blue is a 1‑metre unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) networking cable designed for connecting network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It supports data rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s and is tested to the Cat6 standard up to 250 MHz. The cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 and features molded boots (snaggles) on the RJ‑45 connectors to protect the latch during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The cable provides reliable high‑speed data transfer for home and small office networks, with Cat6 performance and U/UTP construction to reduce interference. Molded boots protect the connectors and extend durability during installation. Its 1 m length and blue colour make it suitable for short patch connections and visible routing in structured cabling setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer, switch or router to a patch panel or wall outlet
• Short patch connections in home or small office networks
• Entertainment devices (smart TVs, game consoles) requiring wired connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: U/UTP Cat6
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45
• Maximum data rate: 10,000 Mbit/s (product data)
• Test frequency: up to 250 MHz (Cat6 standard)
• Colour: Blue
• Weight: 0.04 kg

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the network device (router, switch or modem) and the other into the destination port on a patch panel, wall outlet or device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages; the molded boots protect the latch when routing the cable through confined spaces. For best signal quality, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable separate from high‑voltage power sources.

Recommendations

Use the Microconnect UTP601B for short, visible patch runs and device interconnections within a structured cabling system. For longer permanent runs consider using in‑wall rated or shielded cables appropriate to your installation and local regulations.
