PREMIUMCORD CAT6 UTP patch cable with RJ45 connectors on both ends is a 7 m unshielded twisted-pair cable designed for Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling. The cable supports reliable data transmission between switches, routers, patch panels and wall sockets in home, office and small data-center environments. Its purple jacket provides clear visual identification in cable runs.
Advantages
The unshielded CAT6 construction offers up to 250 MHz bandwidth and is suitable for 1 Gbps Ethernet links over typical horizontal distances. Molded RJ45 connectors on both ends ensure secure plug-in connections and reduce connector strain. The 7 m length balances reach and neat cable management in rack or desk setups, while the purple color helps distinguish this run from other network or power lines.
Suitable for
- Connecting PCs, switches, routers and access points within local networks
- Patch-panel to switch or wall-socket to device connections in offices
- Home network cabling for streaming, gaming and file transfers
- Short horizontal runs in server rooms or small data closets
When it may not be suitable
This UTP cable does not include additional shielding and therefore is not intended for use in environments with high electromagnetic interference where STP/FTP cable types are recommended. It is also not intended for runs exceeding typical horizontal cabling limits for guaranteed Gigabit performance; for longer permanent links, consider in-wall rated or higher-category cabling.
Key specifications
- Category: CAT6 (Class E)
- Cable type: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
- Bandwidth: up to 250 MHz
- Rated data: suitable for Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps)
- Length: 7 meters
- Connectors: RJ45 plug to RJ45 plug, molded boots
- Jacket color: purple
How to use
Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into a switch, router or wall socket. Ensure connectors fully seat with the clip engaged. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; maintain gentle curves and secure with Velcro straps or cable ties to prevent strain on connectors. For patch-panel installations, orient the cable so the molded boot clears adjacent ports for easy removal.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify required length (7 m) suits the physical distance between devices and patch points
- Consider whether UTP construction is appropriate for the electromagnetic environment
- Check that CAT6 performance meets your network speed and future upgrade plans
- Confirm purple jacket color fits your cable management or labeling scheme
Usage recommendations
For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long distances, keep bend radius above manufacturer recommendations, and use strain relief to protect the RJ45 connectors. Test the link with a network cable tester after installation to confirm continuity and performance.
