Patch Cable S-Conn Cat.6 U/UTP Slimline extra flat super flexible, red, 5 m

S-Conn Cat.6 U/UTP Slimline extra flat super flexible patch cable, 5 m in red, is a low-profile Ethernet cable engineered for Cat.6 performance in constrained installation environments. The cable provides standard Cat.6 signal transmission suitable for gigabit LANs, patch panels and short horizontal runs where a thin, flexible cable simplifies routing behind furniture, through conduits or under carpets. The red jacket offers visual identification for network segments or device groups.

Advantages

The extra-flat construction reduces cable height and allows neat routing in narrow gaps and under floor coverings while maintaining Cat.6 level transmission for reliable gigabit connections. Super-flexible conductors and a slim jacket make the cable easy to bend around corners and plug into tightly spaced ports without strain. The U/UTP design provides unshielded twisted pairs with an overall jacket suitable for typical indoor LAN installations, and the 5 m length covers most desk-to-switch or patch panel to equipment distances.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, switches, routers and patch panels in office and home networks
• Low-profile routing behind furniture, along skirting boards or under carpets
• High-density patch panel installations where space between ports is limited
• Temporary or permanent cabling where flexibility and a thin profile are required

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for indoor environments and typical LAN use; it is not intended for direct burial, outdoor exposure, or installations requiring individual pair shielding. In environments with significant electromagnetic interference or where shielded cabling is mandated, a shielded Cat.6 cable would be more appropriate. For very long runs beyond standard horizontal distances, a longer cable or structured cabling solution should be used.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 (meets standard Cat.6 signal transmission requirements)
• Topology: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs, overall jacket)
• Length: 5 m
• Form factor: extra-flat / slimline
• Flexibility: super-flexible conductors for tight bends
• Color: red
• Typical use: indoor LAN patching, desk-to-switch and patch panel connections

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plugs into the corresponding ports on devices such as switches, routers or network interfaces until the latch clicks. Route the cable along the desired path taking advantage of the extra-flat profile to pass under skirting boards, through cable channels or behind equipment. Avoid sharp kinks and maintain bend radii recommended for Ethernet cables to preserve signal integrity. For patch panel installations, align the cable so the slim profile does not obstruct adjacent ports.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended environment: indoor use only; not suitable for outdoor or direct burial
• EMI conditions: choose shielded cable if high electromagnetic interference is expected
• Run length: 5 m is suitable for short to medium connections; measure the required distance including routing path
• Port spacing: slimline design is ideal when ports are closely spaced

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid extremely tight bends and do not place heavy objects on the cable. Use the red color to mark important links or separate network segments, and test connections after installation to verify gigabit link negotiation and stable transmission.
