Network cable LANBERG PCU6-10CU-0050-BK Cat6 U/UTP RJ-45 0.5 m Black

LANBERG PCU6-10CU-0050-BK Cat6 U/UTP RJ-45 0.5 m is a straight-through network cable designed for short connections between network devices. The cable features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a U/UTP (unshielded over unshielded twisted pair) construction that helps reduce crosstalk and maintain signal integrity. With a compact 0.5 m length and black jacket, it is intended for tidy patching in racks, behind desktop equipment, or where short, reliable links are required.

Advantages

The cable supports high data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s ensuring compatibility with Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet environments where short patch leads are needed. Its Cat6 specification provides improved performance over older categories for reduced interference on twisted pairs. The fixed RJ-45 connectors allow plug-and-play installation without additional termination, while the short 0.5 m length minimises excess cable and helps maintain an organised workspace.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in server racks and cabinets
• Short connections between routers, modems and desktop PCs
• Linking network equipment in home offices and small business workstations
• Patching within crowded networking enclosures where space is limited

Key specifications

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the first device and the other connector into the corresponding port of the second device until the latch clicks. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for the desired network speed; the cable is ready for immediate use without termination or tools. For best results, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable clear of strong electromagnetic sources where possible.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat6 patch cable for short, direct connections inside racks or between nearby devices to minimise signal degradation and cable clutter. Avoid routing the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines; maintain gentle bend radii and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.
