networking cable Wirewin PKW-UTP-KAT6 10.0 OR

The slim wirewin networking cable Wirewin PKW-UTP-KAT6 10.0 OR is a 10-metre Cat6 patch cable with U/UTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for typical Ethernet setups, it supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and uses copper-plated contacts to improve contact reliability and reduce signal loss. The bright orange jacket helps with cable identification in dense installations while the flexible sheath facilitates routing in homes and offices.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable provides stable Gigabit Ethernet performance suitable for most residential and small office networks. U/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference compared with completely unshielded cables, while the RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard network devices. The copper-plated contacts offer durability and consistent contact quality over repeated plug cycles. The 10-metre length gives distance flexibility without the need for additional patch panels or extenders in many setups.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting desktop computers, laptops or network printers to a router or switch
• Wiring a home network for streaming, online gaming or video conferencing
• Small office wiring between workstations and network switches
• Temporary or permanent patching in server rooms, comms cabinets or media cabinets

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Length: 10.0 metres
• Shielding: U/UTP (overall unshielded with screened pairs as provided by manufacturer description)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Contact plating: copper-plated contacts
• Jacket colour: orange
• Typical use: Ethernet networking, patching

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of your device (PC, switch, router or printer) and the other connector to the corresponding port on the network equipment. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure physical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas of high electromagnetic noise; allow some slack to prevent strain on ports. For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines for extended distances.

Usage recommendations

Use the Wirewin PKW-UTP-KAT6 10.0 OR for Gigabit Ethernet links up to typical Cat6 distance limits. Inspect connectors before use and replace the cable if the jacket or connector is visibly damaged. For critical installations requiring higher bandwidth or future-proofing beyond 1 Gbit/s, consider higher-category cabling (Cat6a/Cat7) as appropriate.
