Patch cord Gembird Cat6 UTP 1m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, blue, U/UTP (UTP)

Gembird Cat6 UTP patch cord, 1 m length, with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. This blue U/UTP (UTP) cable meets Cat6 performance parameters for Gigabit Ethernet and is designed for use with network switches, routers, patch panels and wall outlets. The cable uses stranded conductors and molded strain relief boots with snagless design to protect the connector latch and ease routing in confined spaces.

Advantages

The cable supports Cat6 signal quality for high-speed data transfer and reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections. Its unshielded twisted pair construction provides consistent pair performance while remaining flexible for short runs and frequent reconfiguration in patching environments. The molded boots with strain relief reduce stress at connector junctions and the snagless design prevents accidental latch damage during insertion and removal.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in local area networks
• Patching between network equipment and patch panels
• Short horizontal cable runs in office and data center racks
• Color-coded structured cabling for easy port identification

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male, 8P8C
• Conductor type: stranded conductors (AWG26)
• Plug plating: tin plated contacts
• Boot: molded snagless strain relief boots
• Color: blue

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug into the corresponding network device port until the connector latch engages. Ensure the cable is not excessively bent near the connector and that strain relief boots sit flush to reduce stress. For patching, route the cable through cable management rings or trays to avoid sharp bends and keep it separated from power lines to minimise interference. When disconnecting, press the latch before pulling the plug to avoid damaging the connector.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6 UTP patch cord for short runs up to 1 m within racks and at workstation patch panels. Avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power cables and do not subject it to repeated sharp bends or crushing. For permanent horizontal cabling over longer distances or in electrically noisy environments, consider using appropriate solid conductor cables or shielded variants.
