Network Cable Lindy 0.5m RJ-45 Cat6 U/UTP Violet

The Lindy 0.5m RJ-45 Cat6 U/UTP Violet network cable is a short patch cable designed for reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections. It supports operating frequencies up to 250 MHz and conforms to ISO/IEC 11801 standards. The cable is unshielded (U/UTP) while its electrical design meets performance requirements for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) installations. Connectors on both ends are RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts, and the cable is supplied individually in a polybag.

Advantages

This Cat6 U/UTP cable delivers bandwidth up to 250 MHz suitable for Gigabit Ethernet. Gold-plated contacts provide corrosion-resistant, stable connections over time. The snagless strain relief protects the connector latch during installation and removal. Its compact 0.5 m length is convenient for short-distance patching, and the violet colour helps identify or organise cabling runs.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between network devices and patch panels
• Desktop or rack-mounted equipment within server rooms and offices
• Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) links
• Environments where visible coloured cabling helps organisation

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat.6 U/UTP (unshielded)
• Bandwidth / frequency: up to 250 MHz
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 0.5 m
• Standards: ISO/IEC 11801
• Supported Ethernet: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Colour: Violet

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of your device (PC, switch, router or patch panel) and the other RJ-45 connector to the corresponding port on the other device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. The snagless strain relief reduces the risk of damaging the latch when routing or unplugging the cable. Use the 0.5 m length for short patch runs to maintain tidy cabling and minimise excess slack.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable and keep it away from large sources of electromagnetic interference. Use this Cat6 U/UTP cable for in-room and rack patching where unshielded cabling is appropriate; for environments requiring additional protection against interference, consider shielded cable variants.
