Networking Cable METZ CONNECT Ultraflex500 0.3m Cat6 SF/UTP

The METZ CONNECT Ultraflex500 0.3m Cat6 SF/UTP networking cable provides a compact, shielded connection for short-distance Ethernet links. Designed for Cat6 performance with SF/UTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors plated with copper, the cable supports reliable data transmission up to 100 Mbit/s and is finished in white for a discreet appearance in residential, office, or industrial cabling environments.

Advantages

The SF/UTP construction combines overall foil shielding with unshielded twisted pairs to reduce external electromagnetic interference while maintaining flexibility for tight routing. Copper-plated RJ-45 connectors offer stable contact and signal integrity. At 0.3 m length the cable minimizes excess slack and is convenient for short patching between devices or within patch panels. The white outer jacket provides a neutral aesthetic and basic protection against mechanical wear.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, routers, and wall outlets
• Desk-level links for workstations, VoIP phones, and access points
• Patch panel to network device connections in small data cabinets
• Temporary or permanent cabling in residential and small office setups

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: SF/UTP (overall foil with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with copper-plated contacts
• Length: 0.3 m
• Color: White
• Nominal data rate: up to 100 Mbit/s

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device and the other to the corresponding port on the switch, router, patch panel, or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it clear of high-voltage power lines or heavy machinery that could introduce interference. For stable performance, confirm both ends are mated with compatible Cat6 ports.

Recommendations

Use this 0.3 m METZ CONNECT Ultraflex500 cable for short, direct connections where minimal slack is required. For installations with potential electromagnetic interference, maintain proper cable separation from power sources and consider additional grounding or shielded infrastructure if higher data rates or enhanced noise immunity are needed.
