Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6 (Cat 6)
• Cable type: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Length: 2.0 meters
• Application: Ethernet networking and data transmission
• Compatibility: Standard RJ45 network ports

How to use

To use the patch cable, connect one end into an available network port on your computer, router, switch, or other network device until you hear a secure click. Insert the opposite end into the corresponding port on the target device or network socket. Ensure the cable is routed safely to avoid sharp bends, pinching, or excessive tension, which can damage the internal conductors over time.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a length of 2.0 meters is sufficient to span the distance between your target devices
• Check that your hardware utilizes standard Ethernet ports compatible with Category 6 cables
• Assess whether your environment requires shielded cables due to electrical interference

Usage recommendations: Inspect the cable connectors periodically for dust or physical damage, and avoid coiling the cable too tightly during storage to maintain optimal internal wire integrity.
