X-Shield networking cable Black 1.5 m Cat6 U/UTP RJ-45

The X-Shield networking cable Black 1.5 m Cat6 U/UTP RJ-45 is a 1.5 metre patch cable engineered to meet Cat6 performance requirements for wired Ethernet connections. The cable uses U/UTP construction with an unshielded twisted pair core and an overall foil or unshielded jacket design to reduce pair-to-pair interference while maintaining flexibility. Fitted with standard RJ-45 plugs on both ends, it provides a straightforward, plug-and-play connection for switches, routers, network cards and other Ethernet-enabled devices.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable provides support for high data throughput and improved signal integrity compared with lower-category cables. The 1.5 m length is convenient for connecting devices in close proximity without excess slack. The U/UTP wiring and precise RJ-45 terminations offer consistent contact reliability and stable link performance in typical home and office environments. The black outer jacket delivers a neutral appearance that fits many installation styles.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and network switches in home or small office setups
• Linking media players, smart TVs and streaming devices to wired networks
• Short patch runs in structured cabling within server rooms or network cabinets
• Temporary or permanent workstation connections where a 1.5 m cable length is ideal

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 — supports Gigabit Ethernet and higher-frequency signaling typical for Cat6 performance
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends, gold-plated contacts for reliable mating
• Cable construction: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with overall jacket)
• Outer jacket color: Black
• Typical use: Patch cable for short horizontal or equipment connections

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the network device and the other connector into the switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable to avoid tight bends or kinks and keep it clear of sources of strong electromagnetic interference, such as unshielded power cables or large motors, to maintain optimal signal quality.

Recommendations

For stable Gigabit Ethernet performance, use this Cat6 cable for runs up to its intended length and avoid excessive twisting or sharp bends at the connector ends. When installing in permanent structured cabling, verify compatibility with existing patch panels and test the link after installation with appropriate network testers to confirm signal integrity.
