Network Cable Sharkoon CAT.6 RJ45 0.5m Grey

The Sharkoon CAT.6 RJ45 0.5m Grey patch cable is designed for connecting computers and network devices to 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet networks via a switch, hub or router. The cable follows Cat6 standards and uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends, offering a compact 0.5 m length and a grey jacket for a discreet appearance.

Advantages

Cat6 construction provides improved transmission characteristics compared with lower categories, supporting higher data rates and reduced crosstalk. The pre-terminated RJ-45 ends ensure easy plug-and-play installation. Its short 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable clutter and potential signal degradation in close-proximity connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PC to a switch or router
• Short-distance links between network devices in home or office setups
• Patch panel connections where short jumper cables are needed
