Patch cable blue products CAT6 U/UTP RJ45 grey 3 m

Blue Products CAT6 U/UTP patch cable with RJ45 connectors, 3 metres long in grey, provides a straightforward connection solution for Ethernet networks. Built to Cat6 performance criteria, this unshielded U/UTP cable supports Gigabit Ethernet links and is intended for short- to medium-length horizontal and patching runs in offices, data cabinets and home LANs.

Advantages

The cable delivers Cat6-level transmission characteristics suitable for 1 Gbps Ethernet and reduced crosstalk versus lower category cables. Flexible PVC jacket and standard RJ45 plugs on both ends allow fast, tool-free installation into switches, routers, patch panels and wall outlets. The 3 m length offers a balance between reach and cable management in rack or desktop setups, while the neutral grey colour helps maintain a discreet appearance in mixed equipment environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network printers within office or home networks
• Patching between patch panels and network devices in racks or cabinets
• Desktop network connections for workstations and VoIP phones
• Short horizontal runs where Cat6 performance is required

When it may not be suitable

This U/UTP (unshielded) cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference or industrial settings where shielded cabling is recommended. It is designed for Ethernet performance up to Cat6 levels; for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over longer distances or environments requiring enhanced alien crosstalk performance, higher-category or shielded cables may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (U/UTP)
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Length: 3 m
• Jacket colour: Grey
• Construction: Unshielded twisted pair
• Intended use: Ethernet networking, patching and short horizontal runs

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports of network devices until the latch clicks. Use the cable to patch between network equipment such as switches, patch panels, routers and wall outlets. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; maintain gentle bend radii and avoid running parallel to heavy power cabling to reduce potential interference. For rack installations, secure excess length with cable ties or cable management panels to maintain airflow and tidy appearance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify required cable length and whether 3 m is sufficient for your setup
• Confirm that unshielded U/UTP construction is acceptable for your environment
• Ensure Cat6 performance meets bandwidth and latency needs for your network
• Check connector compatibility with device port types (standard RJ45)

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat6 patch cable for indoor LAN and patching purposes within recommended length limits, avoid electromagnetic interference sources, and organize cables with appropriate management to preserve signal integrity and equipment accessibility.
