Network patch cable Telegärtner Cat6 U/UTP, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 25 m, yellow

Telegärtner Cat6 U/UTP network patch cable, 25 m, with RJ-45 plugs on both ends, is designed for structured Ethernet connections in office and data‑center environments. Constructed as an unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable and meeting Cat6 performance, it supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and provides a consistent physical link between switches, patch panels, routers and end devices. The yellow jacket improves visual identification in cabling runs and racks.

Advantages

The cable offers Cat6 electrical characteristics suitable for 250 MHz bandwidth operation and reliable Gigabit connectivity over a 25 m length. Its RJ-45 plugs on both ends ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports and patching hardware. The U/UTP design keeps the cable flexible and easy to route in trays or under desks while the colored outer sheath aids in cable management and fault tracing.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and routers in office LANs
• Linking desktop PCs, VoIP phones and printers to network outlets
• Temporary or permanent patching in server rooms and telecom cabinets
• Structured cabling where U/UTP (unshielded) Cat6 performance is sufficient

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded cable is not intended for environments with strong electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is recommended. It is also not designed for outdoor use or direct burial without additional protective conduit or weatherproofing. For applications requiring higher than Cat6 performance or 10 Gigabit operation over longer distances, a higher‑category cable should be considered.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (U/UTP)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 25 m
• Conductor arrangement: unshielded twisted pair
• Bandwidth capability: up to 250 MHz (typical for Cat6)
• Color: yellow outer jacket

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on devices such as switches, patch panels or networked equipment. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points; maintain bend radius recommendations typical for twisted‑pair cabling to preserve performance. When installing in racks or conduit, secure the cable with appropriate management accessories and avoid running parallel to high‑voltage power lines to reduce interference risks.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that Cat6 U/UTP performance meets the bandwidth and speed requirements for your network
• Assess the installation environment for potential electromagnetic interference or moisture exposure
• Ensure 25 m length is sufficient and allows for routing without excessive tension
• Check color coding standards in your site to ensure yellow fits your cable identification scheme

Usage recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, keep the cable length within standards for horizontal cabling runs, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force during installation, and use proper cable management to maintain signal integrity and ease of maintenance.
