Cable Patchcord Cat. 6 AKTBXKS6UTP300B RJ45 UTP 3m Black

Cable Patchcord Cat. 6 AKTBXKS6UTP300B RJ45 UTP 3m Black is a 3‑metre UTP patch cable designed for wired network connections. It supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and is suitable for typical LAN setups where a reliable copper connection is required. The black jacket provides a discreet appearance for office or home installations.

Advantages

This Cat 6 U/UTP cable offers consistent signal transmission for high‑speed data transfer with reduced crosstalk thanks to its twisted-pair design. The RJ45 male connectors on both ends ensure easy plug-and-play connection to routers, switches, network cards and patch panels. Its 3 m length balances reach and cable management while the robust outer sheath increases durability in everyday use.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers within office or home local area networks
• Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE‑T) links and other Ethernet standards supported by Cat 6
• Patch panels and structured cabling runs in small to medium installations

When it may not be suitable

This U/UTP Cat 6 cable does not include additional overall shielding, so in environments with strong electromagnetic interference or industrial noise a shielded cable (FTP/STP) may be preferable. For very long backbone runs beyond typical horizontal cabling limits, an alternative with higher category rating or fiber optic cabling should be considered.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6
• Wiring: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Connectors: 2 × RJ45 male
• Length: 3 m
• Colour: black
• Suitable for: Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into a router, switch or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place and avoid sharp bends or kinks along the cable run. For tidy installations, route the cable along cable channels or use ties to secure excess length without compressing the jacket.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and routing path
• Whether an unshielded U/UTP cable is suitable for your environment
• Compatibility with your network equipment and desired Ethernet speed

Usage recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended limits for horizontal Ethernet (up to 100 m total run) and avoid running parallel to power cables to reduce potential interference.
