Network Patch Cable Cat6 0.25 m Grey U/UTP PVC RJ45 Gold-Plated Contacts Snagless Booted Lifetime Warranty

Short Cat6 network patch cable, 0.25 m length, grey U/UTP construction with copper conductors and a PVC jacket. The cable is fitted with booted, snagless RJ45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts for improved contact reliability and reduced corrosion. Designed for short patching between devices, switches and patch panels in home or office networks. Supplied in a polybag and covered by a lifetime warranty.

Advantages

The cable's Cat6 specification supports higher bandwidth and improved signal integrity compared with lower category patch cords, enabling reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections over short distances. Gold-plated contacts and a snug RJ45 fit reduce contact resistance and the risk of intermittent connections. The snagless boot protects the connector clip during installation in tight spaces, while the PVC jacket provides mechanical protection and flexibility for routing in racks, cupboards or behind desks.

Suitable for

• Patching between network devices (router, switch, modem) within racks or on desktop setups
• Short connections between patch panels and switches in wiring closets
• Connecting PCs, printers or IP phones when a short, high-quality cable is required
• Temporary test connections in network diagnostics and troubleshooting

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network device's port and the other into the corresponding port on the second device or switch until the connector clip clicks into place. Ensure the cable is not sharply bent at the connector or along its length and avoid tension or crushing. For removal, depress the connector clip before pulling the plug out to avoid damaging the boot. Use the cable for short links inside racks, between adjacent devices on a desk, or between a patch panel and a nearby switch.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs as short as practical and avoid routing alongside high-voltage power cables. Do not expose the PVC jacket to prolonged direct sunlight or chemicals. Although suitable for Gigabit Ethernet over short distances, verify signal performance in critical installations and replace with longer or shielded cables where required by the environment.
