Mercodan RJ-45 Network Patch Cable Cat.6 U/UTP LSZH CCA White 5 m

The Mercodan RJ-45 Network Patch Cable Cat.6 U/UTP LSZH CCA White 5 m is designed for establishing stable Ethernet connections in residential and commercial environments. This category 6 patch cable features standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends and measures 5 meters in length, offering sufficient reach for connecting computers, routers, switches, and other network peripherals within a local area network.

Advantages

This network cable incorporates a low smoke zero halogen LSZH jacket, which enhances safety by minimizing toxic and corrosive gas emissions in the event of a fire. The unshielded U/UTP design provides flexibility and ease of routing through tight spaces, cable ducts, and behind office furniture. The white exterior allows the cable to blend seamlessly into modern interiors, maintaining a clean and organized appearance.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers and laptops to network routers or wall sockets
• Linking network switches, patch panels, and hubs in small office setups
• Setting up wired local area networks in home offices and living spaces
• Connecting smart TVs and gaming consoles to wired internet sources

When it may not be suitable

This product may not be suitable for industrial environments that require heavy-duty shielded cables to protect against high levels of electromagnetic interference. Additionally, the CCA conductors mean it is not recommended for Power over Ethernet applications that demand high electrical conductivity and continuous power delivery over long periods.

How to use

To use the patch cable, insert one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking device, such as a router or switch, until it clicks securely into place. Take the opposite end of the 5-meter cable and connect it to the network port of your computer or peripheral device. Ensure the cable is routed safely along baseboards or through designated channels to prevent tripping hazards, physical strain, or sharp bends that could impair network performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 5-meter length is appropriate for your specific distance requirements without creating excessive cable slack
• Confirm that your equipment supports standard RJ-45 Ethernet connections
• Evaluate whether an unshielded U/UTP cable is sufficient for your network environment free of heavy electrical interference

For optimal network performance and safety, avoid pulling the cable tightly during installation, keep it away from sharp edges, and do not exceed the recommended bending radius of the LSZH jacket.
