Networking Cable Wirewin PKW-UTP-KAT6 5.0 OR 5m Cat6 U/UTP

The Wirewin PKW-UTP-KAT6 5.0 OR is a 5-meter Cat6 networking cable designed for reliable wired connections. It supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s and uses U/UTP construction to reduce external interference. Both ends feature RJ-45 connectors with copper plating to ensure stable signal transmission and low contact resistance. The cable is suited for short to medium runs between computers, switches, routers and other network equipment.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable combines standardized Category 6 performance with U/UTP shielding to limit crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in typical office and home environments. The 5 m length offers flexibility for desk-to-wall or rack-to-equipment connections without excessive slack. Copper-plated RJ-45 connectors provide consistent contact quality and durability across repeated insertions. The cable design supports up to 1000 Mbit/s throughput, making it compatible with common Gigabit networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs or laptops to a router or switch
• Linking network switches and patch panels within a rack or cabinet
• Wired connections for media players, smart TVs and game consoles
• Temporary or permanent office and home network installations

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (Category 6)
• Shielding: U/UTP (overall unshielded with twisted pair construction minimizing interference)
• Length: 5.0 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends, copper-plated contacts
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Typical use: Ethernet, LAN connections

How to use

Ensure devices are powered off or in a safe state if required by your equipment, then insert an RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of each device until it clicks. For wall ports and patch panels, route the cable to avoid tight bends and secure it to avoid strain on connectors. After connection, verify link and activity LEDs on networking devices to confirm successful link establishment and negotiate the correct speed. If multiple cables are used in a rack, keep them organized to maintain airflow and serviceability.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to power lines or sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Maintain bend radius greater than the cable diameter and avoid kinking. Use this 5 m Cat6 cable for in-room or rack connections; for longer runs between floors or buildings, choose appropriately rated longer cables or structured cabling solutions.
