Network Cable ShiverPeaks 75711-SLB Flat U/UTP Cat6 Slim Blue 1m

Flat network cable ShiverPeaks 75711-SLB in blue is a slim U/UTP Cat6 patch cable designed for short-range connections up to 1 meter. It supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and adheres to Cat6 performance parameters for high-speed data transmission. The flat profile reduces cable bulk, making it easier to route along walls, under carpets, and in tight or visible spaces without raising the cable significantly above the surface.

Advantages

The slim flat construction provides convenient cable concealment and low-profile routing while maintaining Cat6 signal characteristics suitable for 1 Gbps networks. The U/UTP design minimizes material thickness and simplifies handling in confined installations. A 1 m length offers flexibility for connecting devices in close proximity without excess slack. The blue jacket enables easy visual identification within multi-cable setups.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between desktop devices, routers and switches
• Cabling along skirting boards, under rugs and through narrow gaps
• Home networks and small office setups requiring discreet cable routing
• Temporary event installations and workstation rearrangements

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (meets Cat6 performance for twisted-pair Ethernet)
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded overall, twisted pairs)
• Form factor: Flat / slim profile for low-rise routing
• Length: 1 meter
• Color: Blue jacket for visual identification
• Intended data rate: Suitable for Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) within Cat6 limits

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end of the flat Cat6 cable to the LAN port of a router, switch or network outlet and the other end to the Ethernet port of a computer, NAS or other network device. Route the flat cable along skirting boards, tuck it under thresholds or beneath carpets where permitted, and avoid sharp bends or crushing to maintain signal integrity. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and secured in device ports to establish a stable link.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid running this unshielded cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines or large electrical equipment. Keep bend radius gentle at connection points and use the 1 m length for direct device connections or short patch runs; use longer Cat6-rated cables for longer distances to maintain specification compliance.
