LogiLink CQ3063U Cat6a U/UTP Network Cable, 3 m, RJ-45, Black

The LogiLink CQ3063U Cat6a U/UTP network cable is a high-performance solution designed for reliable data transmission in professional and home networking environments. With a length of 3 meters, this cable supports high-speed data rates of up to 10,000 Mbit/s, making it suitable for demanding applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The cable features a slim design with a 2.8 mm diameter and a flexible TPE jacket, which helps save space in server cabinets and improves airflow. Equipped with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and robust bend protection, it ensures a stable connection and long-lasting durability.

Advantages

This patch cable offers significant benefits for organized cable management due to its slim profile and high flexibility, which allows for a smaller bending radius compared to standard cables. The use of bare copper conductors ensures optimal signal quality, while the gold-plated contacts provide excellent corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity. Furthermore, the cable is flame-retardant and halogen-free, meeting high safety standards. The extra-short plug design is particularly advantageous in confined spaces, and the integrated bend protection effectively prevents cable breakage during frequent handling.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to routers or switches
• High-speed data transfer in home and office networks
• Optimizing airflow in crowded server cabinets
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications
• Environments requiring flame-retardant cabling

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not shielded (U/UTP), meaning it may not be the ideal choice for environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference where shielded (S/FTP) cables are required to maintain signal integrity. Additionally, the 3-meter length may be insufficient for long-distance installations between rooms or across buildings.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Cable standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded)
• Connectors: 2x RJ-45 (male)
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10,000 Mbit/s
• Cable diameter: 2.8 mm
• Contact plating: Gold
• Color: Black

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert one of the RJ-45 connectors into the network port of your device, such as a computer, laptop, or gaming console, and the other end into your router, switch, or wall outlet. Ensure that the plug is fully inserted until you hear a click, confirming a secure connection. Due to its high flexibility, the cable can be easily routed through cable management channels or behind furniture without the risk of kinking or damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware supports Cat6a standards for maximum performance.
• Check if the 3-meter length is sufficient for your specific setup.
• Ensure that your environment does not require shielded cables to prevent interference.

Usage recommendations: To maintain the longevity of the cable, avoid sharp bends and do not pull the cable by the cord when disconnecting. Keep the connectors clean and free of dust to ensure optimal signal transmission.
