Ethernet patch cable Telegärtner L00001A0230 Cat6 U/UTP 2 m RJ-45 to RJ-45

Telegärtner L00001A0230 is a 2 m Cat6 U/UTP Ethernet patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling, this unshielded Cat6 patch cable provides reliable category‑6 performance for LAN connections between switches, routers, PCs and patch panels in office and data‑center environments where unshielded copper cabling is required.

Advantages

The cable supports Gigabit Ethernet transmission and meets Cat6 electrical performance parameters for reduced crosstalk and improved signal integrity compared with lower category cables. Its 2 m length supplies flexibility for typical patching distances while keeping excess cable tidy. Standard RJ-45 terminations on both ends ensure compatibility with common networking equipment and patch panels. The unshielded design simplifies installation and avoids potential grounding issues in environments where shielding is not necessary.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches, patch panels and routers in LAN racks
• Connecting desktop PCs, workstations and networked printers to wall outlets or switches
• Short cable runs in office floors, small server rooms and data‑center patch bays
• Environments where unshielded copper cabling is standard and adequate

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded Cat6 U/UTP cable is not intended for use where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is significant or where shielded cabling is required by site standards. It is also not suitable for runs longer than recommended standards for maintaining Gigabit performance without additional infrastructure such as intermediate switches or fiber links.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (Category‑6 performance)
• Conductor type: Unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP)
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45
• Length: 2 m
• Supported speeds: Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE‑T) and lower
• Typical use: LAN patching between network devices and patch panels

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the network port of the switch, router, patch panel or device, and plug the other end into the corresponding port on the destination device. Ensure connectors click into place and that cable routing avoids sharp bends, pinch points and sources of heat. For structured cabling, label both ends if required and secure the cable with cable management to maintain airflow and access in racks or under desks.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that unshielded U/UTP meets site grounding and EMI requirements
• Confirm 2 m length is appropriate for the intended patching distance
• Ensure connected equipment supports Cat6 or Gigabit Ethernet
• Check color and jacket type if specific aesthetics or fire ratings are required

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight bends and keep the cable away from large power cables and EMI sources. Use proper cable management in racks and patch panels, and test links with a cable tester when commissioning or after changes to ensure continuity and performance.
