Patch Cable Equip Cat.6 U/UTP RJ-45 0.5m Yellow

The equip® Cat.6 U/UTP Patch Cable is a 0.5 m network cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. Constructed from quality materials and tested to industry standards, this Cat.6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and uses U/UTP topology to reduce external interference. Gold-plated contacts improve conductivity and durability, while the yellow jacket helps with visual identification in structured cabling.

Advantages

Cat.6 specification delivers higher bandwidth and improved signal-to-noise margin compared with lower-category cables, enabling stable performance in demanding network environments. The U/UTP design minimizes electromagnetic interference without individual pair shielding, and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide reliable connectivity and corrosion resistance. Compact 0.5 m length is convenient for patching within racks or between nearby devices.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between switches, patch panels and servers
• High-speed LAN setups supporting 10GBase-T where short runs are required
• Dense cabling environments where cable identification is needed

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T (Cat.6)
• Data transfer rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded overall, unshielded pairs)
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Colour: Yellow
• Weight: 0.025 kg

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device or patch panel port and the other into the corresponding switch, router or workstation port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab clicks. Use the 0.5 m cable for short patching runs to avoid excess cable slack and maintain tidy cable management within racks or workspaces.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and prolonged compression of the cable and keep it away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference. Use the cable for short 10GBase-T runs where Cat.6 performance is sufficient; for longer distances at 10 Gbps consider Cat6a or higher.
