Networking Cable S/CONN 08-22020 Grey 1 m Cat6 U/UTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-22020 Grey 1 m Cat6 U/UTP is a one-meter network patch cable designed for wired Ethernet connections. It uses Cat6 wiring and U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall unshielded) configuration and is terminated with RJ-45 plugs featuring gold-plated contacts. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is suitable for connecting devices in home and office networks where a short, reliable link is required.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable offers stable gigabit Ethernet performance with reliable signal integrity provided by the Cat6 standard and twisted-pair design. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact and reduce corrosion over time, improving long-term connection quality. The 1 m length minimizes excess cable clutter in close-proximity installations, and the grey jacket provides a neutral appearance that integrates into most interiors.

Suitable for

• Connecting a laptop or desktop to a router, switch, or modem
• Short-range connections between network equipment in home offices
• Linking gaming consoles or smart TVs to wired Ethernet for stable streaming
• Replacing or extending existing network patch panels in small cabinets

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Length: 1 m
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair, overall unshielded)
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other connector into the port on your router, switch or modem. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable, and keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as unshielded power transformers.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat6 patch cable for short, direct connections where low latency and gigabit throughput are required. For installations in electrically noisy environments or where grounding and additional EMI protection are necessary, consider choosing a shielded cable type. Inspect connectors periodically for damage and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs show visible wear.
