Networking cable ShiverPeaks BS08-22305 Black 0.3 m Cat6 U/UTP

The ShiverPeaks BS08-22305 Black 0.3 m Cat6 U/UTP networking cable is a short patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data connections. With Cat6 performance it supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is intended for linking network equipment over short distances. The cable has U/UTP construction and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for improved contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The compact 0.3 m length and black jacket make it suitable for tidy, unobtrusive connections between switches, patch panels, routers and devices in home or office setups.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat6 specification ensures compatibility with gigabit Ethernet networks and provides overhead for moderate bandwidth demands. U/UTP shielding reduces external interference compared with unshielded twisted pair, improving signal stability in environments with nearby electronic equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs offer consistent contact conductivity and durability for repeated insertions. The short 0.3 m length minimises cable clutter and is convenient for close-proximity connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops or network printers to nearby switches or routers
• Short patch connections in server racks and patch panels
• Linking networked audio/video devices in home entertainment systems
• Temporary or permanent connections where minimal cable slack is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Length: 0.3 m
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall unshielded braid)
• Connector type: RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other end into the port on your switch, router or patch panel until the plug clicks into place. Ensure that both ends are fully seated to establish a stable physical and data connection. For best results, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable and keep it away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference. The short length is intended for close-proximity links; plan routing to minimise tension on connectors.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short, direct links within racks, between adjacent devices or behind furniture where excess cable should be avoided. For longer runs or environments with heavy electromagnetic interference consider selecting appropriately rated cables or additional shielding solutions.
