Microconnect UTP640 networking cable Grey 40 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP640 networking cable is a Cat6 U/UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a length of 40 m. Designed for wired network connections between devices such as switches, modems, routers or to building infrastructure via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets, this grey cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is tested to 250 MHz in accordance with the Cat6 standard. The cable includes protective boots (snaggles) on the connectors to reduce the risk of damage during installation in tight spaces and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 systems.

Advantages

The Microconnect UTP640 provides Cat6 performance with U/UTP construction and reliable RJ-45 terminations for stable connections. Its 40 m length suits longer runs without additional joins, and the included boots protect connectors during installation. Tested to 250 MHz and compatible with Cat5e/Cat5, the cable supports high-speed Ethernet applications while remaining suitable for small office and home networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Structured cabling in small offices and homes
• Ethernet links requiring up to Cat6 performance (tested to 250 MHz)
• Network installations where a 40 m cable length is required

How to use

Route the Microconnect UTP640 cable between devices or from devices to the infrastructure, terminate each end into the RJ-45 ports of network equipment, patch panels or wall jacks, and ensure secure seating of the connectors. Use the protective boots when pulling the cable through tight conduits or cable routes to protect the latch and connector. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive kinking and keep the cable separated from strong electromagnetic sources.

Recommendations

For reliable Cat6 performance, test installed links after termination and keep link lengths within Ethernet specifications. The cable is backwards compatible with Cat5e/Cat5 devices but will deliver Cat6-class results only when used in Cat6-compliant installations and with compatible hardware.
