Network cable LANBERG Cat6 U/UTP (UTP) red, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 5 m

LANBERG Cat6 U/UTP patch cable, 5 m, with RJ-45 connectors on both ends in red. This unshielded U/UTP (UTP) cable is engineered to meet Cat6 performance for Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling applications. It is intended for linking network devices such as switches, routers, computers and patch panels in residential and business environments where reliable 1 Gbps connections and reduced crosstalk are required.

Advantages

The LANBERG Cat6 cable provides consistent transmission quality across a 5 m length and supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds when used with compatible hardware. The unshielded construction simplifies installation in typical indoor environments and the standardized RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network ports. The red outer sheath facilitates easy identification of runs within a patch panel, rack or cabling bundle.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in office racks
• Linking routers and desktop computers in home networks
• Cabling between network devices in server rooms and telecom cabinets
• Temporary or permanent patching where Cat6 performance is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (meets Cat6 performance for Gigabit Ethernet)
• Topology: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: Red outer jacket
• Application: Structured cabling, patching, Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until it clicks to establish a secure connection. Use the cable to connect switches, routers, computers or patch panels according to your network design. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension along the cable run; maintain recommended bend radius for twisted-pair cables and route the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources to minimise interference. For rack or panel installations, label both ends if multiple runs are present to simplify identification.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, verify that connected devices and patch panels support Gigabit Ethernet and that cable runs do not exceed recommended lengths for structured wiring. In environments with high EMI or where additional protection is required, consider using shielded cable variants instead of unshielded U/UTP. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace cables with visible wear to maintain network reliability.
