Networking Cable PatchSee TP-6A-U/16 Black 4.9 m

The PatchSee TP-6A-U/16 Black 4.9 m is a networking cable built to Cat6a specifications with U/UTP shielding, designed for high-speed data transmission in home and office environments. This 4.9-metre cable features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a black outer jacket that balances discreet appearance with practical durability. It supports applications that require higher bandwidth and reduced crosstalk, offering a structured-cabling compatible solution for modern Ethernet networks.

Advantages

The cable adheres to Cat6a performance parameters, allowing reliable performance at higher frequencies and supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter runs. U/UTP shielding reduces external electromagnetic interference while preserving a straightforward unshielded twisted-pair topology inside the jacket. Factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact and straightforward plug-and-play installation. The 4.9 m length provides flexibility for desk-to-switch or patch-panel connections without excess slack in typical wiring layouts.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, network switches and routers in small offices
• Patching between wall outlets and network equipment in residential setups
• Short backbone or horizontal runs in structured cabling systems
• Environments where reduced interference and stable Gigabit/10Gbps links are needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: U/UTP (overall shielded, individual pairs unshielded)
• Length: 4.9 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Outer colour: Black
• Supported speeds: up to 10 Gbps over appropriate distances
• Construction: twisted-pair copper conductors

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (computer, switch, router or patch panel) and the other connector into the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the retention clip engages. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For rack or panel installations, allow for gentle bend radii and secure the cable with cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable away from power cables and large sources of EMI, maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius, and avoid kinking or crushing. Use appropriate patch panels or couplers when extending runs; replace the cable if connector contacts appear damaged or if performance degrades.
