Patch Cable S-Conn Slimline Cat6 U/UTP, extra flat, super flexible — 5 m, grey

S-Conn Slimline Cat6 U/UTP patch cable is an extra-flat, super-flexible Ethernet cable designed for Gigabit networks. At 5 m length and in grey, it delivers Category 6 performance over unshielded twisted pair wiring while occupying minimal space. The slim profile and soft jacket allow routing beneath carpets, along skirting boards, inside wall channels and through tight cable management paths in home and office environments.

Advantages

The cable combines a low-profile, extra-flat design with high flexibility, making it suitable for installations where space is limited or concealment is required. It supports Cat6 signal characteristics for reliable Gigabit data transfer and reduces strain on connectors due to its flexible jacket. The grey colour provides a neutral appearance for visible runs and the 5 m length covers typical room-to-equipment distances without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Wiring along skirting boards or baseboards
• Routing under carpets or rugs
• Connections in wall trunking, conduits and raised floors
• Home and small office patching between switches, routers, PCs and media devices
• Environments requiring low-profile cabling to minimize visible cables

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded U/UTP Cat6 patch cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling would be required. It is also not designed for permanent outdoor installation or direct burial, as the jacket is optimized for indoor routing and concealment rather than weather resistance.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (suitable for Gigabit Ethernet)
• Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP)
• Profile: Extra-flat, low-profile design
• Flexibility: Super-flexible jacket for tight bends
• Length: 5 metres
• Colour: Grey
• Connector type: Standard RJ45 terminated on both ends

How to use

Route the Slimline Cat6 cable along the chosen path, keeping gentle bends and avoiding sharp kinks. For concealed runs, tuck the flat cable under carpets, along skirting boards or inside trunking; the slim profile facilitates close fit against surfaces. Plug the RJ45 connectors into the network devices, ensuring a secure click-in connection. Avoid stretching the cable and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources when possible to maintain signal integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that Cat6 U/UTP performance meets your network speed and interference requirements.
• Check that 5 m length is sufficient for your device placement and routing path.
• Consider a shielded cable if installing near heavy electrical equipment or in industrial settings.
• Verify indoor-only suitability if you need outdoor or direct-burial cabling.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the cable in indoor environments for Gigabit Ethernet connections where low-profile routing is needed. Avoid tight pinching or staple fastening that can deform the flat profile; secure with low-pressure clips or adhesive cable mounts to maintain performance and longevity.
