Networking Cable ShiverPeaks SP711-SL0.25B Blue 0.25m Cat6 U/UTP

The ShiverPeaks SP711-SL0.25B Blue 0.25m Cat6 U/UTP networking cable is a short patch lead designed for high-speed data transfer between network devices. Compliant with Cat6 performance parameters, this 0.25 meter cable provides a compact, low-latency connection for switches, routers, patch panels and network interface cards. It uses unshielded twisted pair construction with U/UTP characteristics and RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain stable electrical contact and resist corrosion over time.

Advantages

This short Cat6 cable offers reliable transmission performance for gigabit networks and supports the signal quality expected from Cat6 wiring. The RJ-45 connectors with gold plating improve conductivity and reduce contact resistance. The U/UTP construction balances flexibility and reduced crosstalk for short-distance links, while the 0.25 m length minimizes cable clutter in dense rack or desktop environments. The blue jacket provides visual identification in structured cabling setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting adjacent network ports on switches or patch panels
• Short links between desktop PCs and wall outlets
• Tidy cabling runs in server racks or network cabinets
• Temporary test connections and lab setups

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 performance class suitable for gigabit Ethernet
• Cable length: 0.25 m (short patch lead)
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded overall, twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Jacket color: blue
• Typical use: horizontal and patch cabling for short distances

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connectors into the matching Ethernet ports until they click to secure the connection. Use the cable for short patching between adjacent ports on switches, routers, patch panels or between a workstation and a nearby wall outlet. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and keep the length free from tight kinks to preserve signal integrity. When installing in a rack, route the cable along designated patch tray or cable management channels to maintain a tidy layout.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this cable for short-distance connections within the same rack or across closely positioned devices. Do not use it as a replacement for longer horizontal runs; select appropriate Cat6 cabling of sufficient length and installation type for longer distances. Store and route the cable to avoid excessive bending and mechanical stress on the connectors.
