Networking Cable Connect 243761 15m Cat6 U/UTP Orange

The Connect 243761 15m Cat6 U/UTP Orange is a network patch cable designed for stable wired data connections over medium distances. It uses Cat6 performance parameters to support high-speed Ethernet and is terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable's U/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference from external sources, while the bright orange jacket improves visibility and identification in crowded cable environments.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable provides improved bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with older cable categories, supporting reliable Ethernet transmission for home and office networks. The U/UTP shielding helps minimize external interference without adding heavy shielding layers, maintaining flexibility. The 15 m length covers typical runs between patch panels, switches and workstations, and the RJ-45 connectors ensure straightforward plug-and-play compatibility with standard networking equipment. The orange sheath makes cable routing and troubleshooting easier in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, switches and routers within offices or homes
• Patch panel to switch or switch to wall outlet runs up to 15 meters
• Temporary and permanent network setups where cable visibility is important

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: U/UTP (overall unshielded with individually screened pairs not applicable)
• Length: 15 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Orange

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router or network interface on a computer) and the other end into the target port. Ensure both connectors are fully inserted until the locking clip engages. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to power lines or large electrical equipment to reduce potential interference. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points; maintain a gentle bend radius and secure the cable with appropriate ties or clips where necessary.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6 U/UTP cable for standard Gigabit Ethernet connections and medium-length runs where visibility and interference reduction are desirable. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace the cable if the outer jacket or connectors show wear. For environments requiring additional electromagnetic protection, consider a fully shielded cable variant.
