Network cable MACLEAN MCTV-303 W Cat6 U/UTP, RJ-45—RJ-45, 3 m, white

MACLEAN MCTV-303 W Cat6 U/UTP Ethernet cable is a 3 m white network lead with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Built to Cat6 wiring standards, this U/UTP (commonly referred to as UTP) cable provides a wired connection suitable for Gigabit Ethernet between routers, switches, desktop PCs, laptops with RJ-45 ports and other network equipment. The white sheath and standard RJ-45 plugs make it suitable for visible installations in home or office environments where a discreet, reliable connection is required.

Advantages

The Cat6 construction supports higher frequency transmission compared with earlier categories, enabling reliable Gigabit speeds for typical LAN usage. The U/UTP design keeps the cable flexible and easy to route while maintaining performance for short to medium runs. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure plug-and-play compatibility with common networking hardware. The 3 m length offers enough reach for typical desk-to-wall or equipment-to-switch connections without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PC or laptop to a router or switch for Gigabit Ethernet
• Linking networked devices in small office layouts or home networks
• Wiring between switches or patch panels and wall ports within short runs
• Temporary or permanent desktop wiring where a 3 m cable length is appropriate

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Configuration: U/UTP (unshielded, twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 — RJ-45
• Cable length: 3 m
• Colour: White

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your router, switch or modem and the other connector into the Ethernet port of your computer or network device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure physical connection. No special drivers or configuration are required for basic wired connectivity; the connected devices should negotiate link speed and duplex automatically according to their capabilities. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive kinking along the cable run.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6 U/UTP cable for indoor network runs up to 3 m where minimal interference is expected. Keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and strong electromagnetic sources to reduce potential crosstalk. For longer runs or environments with significant electromagnetic interference, consider shielded cable types or higher-grade installations.
