Networking Cable Tecline 5m Cat.6 White

The Tecline 5m Cat.6 White networking cable is a 5-metre unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) Ethernet lead designed to meet Category 6 performance. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, it enables reliable wired connections between routers, switches, computers and other network devices. The white sheath provides a neutral, tidy appearance suitable for visible installations in home or office environments and supports high-speed data transfer over typical local area network distances.

Advantages

This Cat.6 cable offers higher bandwidth capacity and improved performance over earlier category cables, supporting Gigabit Ethernet speeds under appropriate network conditions. The U/UTP construction keeps the cable flexible and easy to route through cable channels, wall cavities and equipment racks. RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard network ports, and the 5-metre length balances reach and signal integrity for common desktop-to-switch or router-to-device connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs or laptops to a router or switch
• Cable runs between networked devices within a room or office
• Home entertainment systems, smart TVs and streaming devices
• Small office networks and point-to-point device connections

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (unshielded twisted pair, U/UTP)
• Length: 5 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Color: White
• Supported use: Gigabit Ethernet and typical LAN applications
• Conductor type: copper conductors (solid or stranded as per manufacturer standard)

How to use

Identify the network ports on your devices and insert each RJ-45 connector until it clicks into place. For a stable connection, avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and route the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large transformers or fluorescent lighting. When connecting between wall outlets and devices, ensure the cable length and routing do not create tension on connectors or strain on device ports. To remove, depress the connector clip and pull the connector straight out.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.6 cable for in-room or short-run connections up to 5 metres and pair it with Gigabit-capable networking equipment. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances to reduce potential interference, and replace the cable if the sheath or connectors show visible damage.
