Networking Cable ShiverPeaks Cat. 6 1m

The ShiverPeaks Cat. 6 1m networking cable provides a compact, shielded connection for Ethernet devices. This 1 metre U/UTP cable features RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and a grey outer jacket. It is designed to support high-speed data transfer and reliable signal integrity for typical home and office networking setups.

Advantages

This Cat. 6 cable combines U/UTP construction with gold-plated RJ-45 contacts to maintain consistent conductivity and reduce contact corrosion over time. The 1 m length minimizes excess cable clutter while allowing flexible placement of devices. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance that blends into many environments. The cable is compatible with standard Ethernet ports and supports the signal quality expected from Category 6 cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting a desktop computer or laptop to a router or switch
• Short runs between network devices in home offices and small business environments
• Connecting gaming consoles, smart TVs and media players to a wired network
• Patch connections in network cabinets and patch panels

Key specifications

• Category: Cat. 6
• Length: 1 m
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded pairs, overall unshielded with twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity
• Color: Grey

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device until it clicks, then connect the other end to the router, switch or modem. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends at the cable ends to maintain signal quality. For best results, route the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large power supplies or unshielded power cables.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat. 6 cable for short-distance, high-speed wired connections where a tidy setup is required. For longer runs or environments with significant electromagnetic interference, consider installing appropriately shielded or higher-category cabling and follow structured cabling practices.
