ShiverPeaks Slim Patch Cable Cat6 U/UTP 3.0 m, 3.5 mm, 2×RJ45 (BS08-22043)

ShiverPeaks Slim Patch Cable Cat6 U/UTP 3.0 m, 3.5 mm, 2×RJ45 is a slim Ethernet patch cable designed for installations that require a thin, flexible connection supporting Cat6 performance. The cable uses unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) construction and two RJ45 plugs to provide reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over a 3.0 m length while minimizing bulk behind equipment, in cable trays, or inside furniture.

Advantages

The slim 3.5 mm diameter reduces clutter and makes routing in tight spaces easier compared with standard patch cables. With Cat6-rated twisted pairs, the cable is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and typical network signals in home and office environments. The two molded RJ45 plugs ensure straightforward plug-and-play connection to switches, routers, patch panels and network ports. Its flexible jacket simplifies bends and positioning without compromising connection quality for short to medium runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers within home and small office networks
• Patch panel to switch connections in cabinets where space is limited
• Desk- or furniture-mounted ports where a thin cable reduces visible clutter
• Temporary or permanent Gigabit Ethernet links up to typical horizontal run lengths

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded U/UTP cable does not provide additional electromagnetic shielding and therefore may not be the best choice in environments with strong EMI or where shielded cabling is required. For runs that significantly exceed typical horizontal distances or for applications demanding 10 Gigabit performance over long runs, a higher category or different cable type should be considered.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 performance
• Conductor configuration: Unshielded twisted pairs (U/UTP)
• Length: 3.0 m
• Outer diameter: 3.5 mm
• Connectors: 2 × RJ45 plugs (8P8C)
• Intended use: Ethernet / network patching up to Gigabit speeds

How to use

Insert each RJ45 plug into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the cable to connect devices such as computers, switches, routers or patch panels. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force; the slim 3.5 mm jacket allows tight routing but maintain gentle bend radii to preserve signal integrity. For neat installs, run the cable along cable channels, behind desks or through grommets.

What to consider before purchase

• Check whether unshielded U/UTP cabling is acceptable for your environment regarding EMI exposure
• Verify 3.0 m length suits your layout and reach between devices or panels
• Confirm Cat6 performance meets your current and near-future bandwidth needs

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this slim Cat6 patch cable for in-cabinet patching, desk connections and short in-room links where space is limited. Avoid installation in areas with high electromagnetic interference or where shielded cable standards are mandated.
