Networking cable Gembird PP6-7.5M — 7.5 m patch cable

Gembird PP6-7.5M — 7.5 m patch cable is a CAT6 networking cable designed for reliable wired Ethernet connections between routers, switches, computers and other network devices. With a 7.5 metre length it provides a mid-range reach suitable for home networks, office workstations and server-room patching where a flexible, shielded connection is required. The cable's construction supports standard Ethernet signalling and is intended for use in typical structured cabling environments.

Advantages

The cable features CAT6 performance with stranded AWG26 conductors and foil shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in environments with adjacent cables or electrical equipment. Moulded strain relief on the connectors protects the cable entry point from bending and mechanical stress, while 8P8C plugs ensure compatibility with standard RJ45 network ports. The 7.5 m length balances reach and manageability for tidy installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops or NAS devices to routers and switches
• Patch panels and short horizontal runs in office or server-room racks
• Home network setups where a mid-length Ethernet cable is needed

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6
• Conductor: stranded AWG26
• Shielding: foil shielded
• Connector type: 8P8C (RJ45 compatible) with 50 µin plating
• Strain relief: moulded
• Length: 7.5 m

How to use

Plug one end of the patch cable into the Ethernet port of a router, switch or network device and the other end into the target device's Ethernet port. Ensure connectors click into place and route the cable to avoid sharp bends and tension at the connector ends. For permanent installations, use cable management (ties, trays or clips) to maintain a tidy run and prevent stress on the cable and connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this CAT6 shielded patch cable for short to mid-length connections where EMI reduction and flexible routing are beneficial. Avoid exposing the cable to excessive heat, liquids or mechanical crushing, and do not bend the cable sharply within 5–10 mm of the connector to preserve performance and connector integrity.
