Network Cable DATACOM Patch cord UTP Cat6 0.5m Black

The DATACOM Patch cord UTP Cat6 0.5m Black is a short patch cable designed for structured cabling and device interconnection in confined spaces. Built to the Cat6 specification, this UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable supports higher data rates and improved signal integrity compared to lower-category patch cords. Its 0.5 m length makes it suitable for linking network ports in racks, patch panels, switches, routers and desktop equipment where excess cable should be avoided.

Advantages

The cable conforms to Cat6 performance parameters that reduce crosstalk and preserve bandwidth for gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network applications. The compact 0.5 m length minimizes clutter and improves airflow in equipment cabinets. A black outer jacket provides a neutral appearance that blends with most professional and residential environments. The RJ45-terminated ends are precision crimped for consistent connection quality and low insertion loss.

Suitable for

• Connecting switch-to-patch panel or switch-to-switch in network racks
• Short links between desktop devices and wall outlets
• Home or small office Ethernet setups requiring neat cable management
• Server cabinets and network closets where space is limited

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Conductor: twisted pair copper
• Jacket color: black
• Intended use: Ethernet networks, gigabit capable

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plugs into the corresponding Ethernet ports of your devices until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends and kinks near the connectors and keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and strong electromagnetic sources. Use the 0.5 m length to create tidy short links between adjacent equipment or to reduce excess cable in patch panels and switch installations.

Usage recommendations

Test network links after installation with a cable tester or link speed check to confirm proper wiring and gigabit negotiation. For installations requiring shielding or longer runs, select an appropriate cable category or shielded alternative. Replace cables that show physical damage or intermittent connectivity.
