Networking Cable S/CONN 08-22300 Grey 0.3m Cat6 U/UTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-22300 Grey 0.3m Cat6 U/UTP is a short patch cable designed for local network connections that require Cat6 performance in a compact length. The cable uses unshielded twisted pair construction with U/UTP configuration and is terminated with RJ-45 plugs featuring gold-plated contacts to maintain consistent signal quality and corrosion resistance. It supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is suitable for use in tightly spaced patch panels, switches, routers and desktop connections where a 0.3 m length reduces cable clutter.

Advantages

The Cat6 specification of this cable provides improved crosstalk and system noise handling compared with lower-category cables while remaining compatible with standard Ethernet ports. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts offer reliable conductivity and reduced oxidation over time. The 0.3 m length minimizes excess cable in dense rack or workstation environments and helps maintain tidy installations. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance that integrates well into office and data center cabling schemes.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between network switches and routers
• Connecting network ports to wall outlets or desktop devices in tight spaces
• Patch panels and server rack front-to-rear cabling where minimal slack is required
• Office and home networks requiring up to 1 Gbps Ethernet speed

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded overall with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 0.3 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (1 Gbps)
• Cable color: grey

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until the latch clicks. Use the cable to link switches, routers, patch panels or network ports to devices that require a short, reliable connection. Avoid sharp bends near the connector and do not stretch the cable; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius for twisted-pair cables to preserve performance. For permanent or semi-permanent installations, route the cable along cable management paths to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For best results in dense racks and tight workspaces, use the 0.3 m cable to reduce excess slack and improve airflow. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic interference sources such as large transformers or unshielded power lines to maintain signal integrity.
