Network cable Procab PROCAB CSD560B/0.5 CAT6A U/UTP Slimline RJ45–RJ45 0.5 m, black

Procab PROCAB CSD560B/0.5 is a 0.5 m slimline network patch cable that delivers Category 6A performance in a reduced-diameter U/UTP construction. Terminated with RJ45 connectors on both ends, this black patch lead is designed for short links between switches, routers, patch panels and networked AV equipment. Its slim profile helps manage congestion in densely packed racks, under desks and behind wall-mounted devices while maintaining high-speed Ethernet capability.

Advantages

The slimline design reduces cable bulk and improves airflow in equipment racks while preserving the electrical characteristics required for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances. U/UTP construction provides consistent pair performance with lower overall diameter compared to screened alternatives, and RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard network ports. The 0.5 m length limits excess cable in tight installations, contributing to tidier cable runs and easier cable management.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches and patch panels in network racks
• Connections from routers to nearby network devices
• AV and media equipment linking in studios and conference rooms
• Under-desk or behind-monitor cabling where space is limited

Key specifications

• Category: Class EA (Cat6A) performance suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 0.5 metre
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded overall, unshielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45
• Diameter/profile: slimline reduced-diameter cable for compact routing
• Colour: black

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into standard Ethernet ports on switches, routers, patch panels or networked devices. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages to maintain reliable contact. Use the 0.5 m length where a short link is required to avoid excess cable; route the cable along cable management channels or cable ties to prevent strain on the connectors and to keep airflow unobstructed in equipment racks.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6A slimline cable for short interconnects up to typical patch-panel distances within racks and enclosures. Avoid tight bends with radii smaller than the cable diameter and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic interference sources when possible. Replace cables that show visible damage to the jacket or connectors to maintain link reliability.
