Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP6-40 Patchcord Cat6 UTP 40m Gray

The C-TECH CB-PP6-40 Patchcord Cat6 UTP 40m in gray is a network cable designed to provide stable Ethernet connections over a longer distance. This Cat6 UTP cable supports typical Gigabit Ethernet speeds and is intended for structured cabling between network equipment, patch panels, switches, routers and wall outlets. The 40 meter length allows flexible placement of devices without needing additional patch points, while the UTP construction reduces crosstalk in environments with limited electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

The cable delivers consistent data throughput suitable for high-bandwidth tasks, with Cat6 category performance that meets standard requirements for up to 1 Gbps networks and supports higher-frequency signaling. Its 40 m length reduces the need for intermediary connections and keeps installations tidy. The gray outer jacket provides a neutral appearance that fits both residential and office environments. Built as an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) patchcord, it is lightweight and easy to route through cable trays, conduits or along walls.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs and workstations to office switches
• Linking network switches to patch panels in small and medium networks
• Home network setups including gaming consoles, smart TVs and media streamers
• Temporary or semi-permanent cabling where 40 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (unshielded twisted pair)
• Type: Patchcord / UTP
• Length: 40 meters
• Color: Gray
• Connector: RJ-45 terminated at both ends
• Intended use: Ethernet data transmission, suitable for Gigabit networks

How to use

Strip any protective packaging and route the Cat6 UTP cable between the two network points you want to connect. Insert each RJ-45 plug into the corresponding Ethernet ports on devices such as switches, routers, patch panels or network interface cards. Ensure the cable is not sharply bent and avoid running it parallel and close to power cables to reduce potential interference. Check link LEDs on connected devices to confirm a successful physical connection before testing network performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, maintain connection lengths within recommended limits for copper Ethernet, avoid tight bends and secure the cable with cable ties or clips to prevent strain on connectors. In environments with strong electromagnetic interference or where higher shielded performance is required, consider using shielded cabling or shorter runs.
