X-Shield networking cable XS-CAT6-UUTP-BLK-2M Black U/UTP 2m

The X-Shield XS-CAT6-UUTP-BLK-2M Black U/UTP 2m is a Cat6 network patch cable designed for stable, high-speed data transmission in home and office networks. With RJ-45 connectors and U/UTP construction, the cable balances performance and flexibility for Ethernet connections up to Gigabit speeds. The 2 meter length provides a tidy reach between devices while maintaining signal integrity through standard Cat6 pair twisting and foil shielding on the overall cable.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable combines U/UTP shielding with a slim, flexible jacket to reduce external electromagnetic interference while remaining easy to route in cable management systems. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure consistent electrical contact and corrosion resistance. The 2 m length minimizes excess slack in typical desktop or rack setups, and the cable supports standard Cat6 wiring for reliable performance with modern network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and network switches within offices and home environments
• Linking routers to access points or modems where a short, dependable connection is required
• Patch panels and structured cabling runs inside network cabinets or wall outlets

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6, suitable for Ethernet up to Gigabit speeds
• Shielding: U/UTP (overall foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Connector: RJ-45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 2 meters
• Conductor: 4 twisted pairs, typical copper conductor for signal transmission
• Jacket color and material: black outer jacket designed for flexible routing

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the network ports of your devices until the latch clicks. Ensure connectors are fully seated on both ends and avoid sharp bends at connector junctions to maintain signal quality. For structured cabling, route the cable along cable trays or through wall outlets as required, keeping it separate from high-voltage power cabling to reduce interference. Test the connection with network diagnostic tools if needed to confirm link speed and integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its 2 m length without excessive pulling or kinking, keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference, and maintain correct termination practices when connecting to patch panels or keystone jacks. Regularly inspect connectors for wear and replace the cable if contact degradation is observed.
