Patchcord Cat6 UTP RJ45 2m TB Print, black

TB Print Patchcord Cat6 UTP RJ45 2m in black is a 2-meter network cable designed for Category 6 Ethernet connections. The patchcord uses unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) wiring and standard 8P8C RJ45 terminations to support Gigabit Ethernet and reliable data transfer between network devices in office and home environments.

Advantages

This Cat6 UTP patchcord provides Category 6 performance for high-speed network links while maintaining a compact and flexible 2 m length suitable for short runs. The RJ45 8P8C connectors are compatible with switches, routers, patch panels and network interfaces, and the UTP construction offers a balance of performance and cost-effectiveness for typical LAN installations. The black jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily into most cabling setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers to wall outlets or patch panels
• Linking PCs, servers and networked printers to local networks
• Short patch runs in office racks and structured cabling closets
• Home network connections where a 2 m cable is sufficient

When it may not be suitable

This UTP Cat6 patchcord does not provide shielding, so it may not be appropriate for installations with significant electromagnetic interference or in industrial environments where shielded cabling is required. For runs longer than typical patch lengths or for future-proofing to higher frequencies beyond Category 6 standards, a different cable type or longer length should be considered.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6 (Cat6)
• Topology: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Connector type: RJ45 (8P8C) on both ends
• Length: 2 meters
• Color: Black
• Intended use: Ethernet networking, up to Gigabit speeds under Cat6 performance

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your switch, router, patch panel or device and the other end into the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that cable routing avoids tight bends and compression near connectors. Use the 2 m length for short patching between adjacent rack units, desktop equipment and wall jacks. Test the link with a network tester if precise performance verification is required.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether a 2 m patchcord is sufficient for your setup
• Whether unshielded (UTP) cabling is appropriate for the installation environment
• Compatibility with existing Cat6 infrastructure and RJ45 ports
• Desire for a specific jacket colour for cable management or aesthetics

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, route the patchcord away from power cables and sources of interference, avoid sharp bends, and use strain relief at connection points. Verify network speed and duplex settings on devices after installation to confirm the Cat6 link operates at expected rates.
