LogiLink CQ3043U Cat6a U/UTP Network Cable, RJ-45, 1.5 m, Black

The LogiLink CQ3043U is a high-performance Cat6a U/UTP network cable engineered for reliable data transmission at speeds reaching 10,000 Mbit/s. This 1.5-meter patch cable features a slim, high-flex design with a 2.8 mm diameter, making it an ideal solution for environments where space is limited, such as server cabinets or crowded home office setups. Equipped with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it ensures stable signal integrity and long-term durability for demanding networking tasks.

Advantages

This cable offers significant benefits for professional and residential network management. Its ultra-slim profile and flexible TPE jacket allow for a smaller bending radius, which simplifies installation in tight spaces and improves airflow within rack systems. The inclusion of extra-short, robust connectors with integrated bend protection minimizes the risk of cable breakage, ensuring a longer service life. Furthermore, the use of bare copper conductors and gold-plated contacts guarantees high-quality signal transmission, while the halogen-free, flame-retardant construction enhances safety in various operating environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications
• Connecting computers, switches, and routers in tight spaces
• Optimizing airflow in server cabinets and data centers

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be suitable for outdoor installations or environments exposed to harsh weather conditions, as it is designed for indoor use. Additionally, because it is an unshielded (U/UTP) cable, it may not be the optimal choice for environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference where shielded (S/FTP) cables would be required to maintain signal quality.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Cable standard: Cat6a U/UTP
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10,000 Mbit/s
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Cable diameter: 2.8 mm
• Contact plating: Gold
• Material: Bare copper conductor with TPE jacket

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your device, such as a router, switch, or network interface card, until you hear a click. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bending radius to maintain optimal performance. The slim design allows for easy routing through cable management channels or behind furniture without adding unnecessary bulk.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware supports Cat6a standards to achieve maximum speeds.
• Ensure the 1.5-meter length is sufficient for your specific connection distance.
• Check if your environment requires shielded cables to prevent electromagnetic interference.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid placing the cable near high-voltage power lines or sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Regularly inspect the connectors for dust or debris to ensure a secure connection.
