UTP Patch Cable Cat6 VALUE, halogen-free, yellow, 0.5 m, RJ-45–RJ-45, gold contacts

Short UTP patch cable VALUE Cat6, halogen-free, 0.5 m long, designed for reliable Ethernet and network connections. The cable is constructed from four pairs of stranded copper conductors in U/UTP (unshielded) configuration and terminated with RJ-45 plugs on both ends. Gold-plated contacts and moulded kink protection on the connectors provide secure mating and improved durability. The yellow jacket enables quick visual identification in patch panels and cable runs while the halogen-free, flame-retardant and low-smoke outer sheath reduces toxic emissions in the event of a fire.

Advantages

The VALUE Cat6 patch cable supports Category 6 performance for typical structured cabling requirements and is compatible with standard EIA/TIA 568 1:1 contact pinouts. Its stranded copper construction and flexible sheath make it suitable for short links and frequent re-patching in racks or at workstations. Gold-plated contacts reduce contact resistance and improve corrosion resistance, while the moulded kink protection extends connector life. The halogen-free jacket offers safer installation in environments where reduced smoke and toxic gas emissions are preferred.

Suitable for

• Patch panel to switch or router connections in data cabinets
• Connecting NAS, desktop workstations and IP devices to network ports
• Short link connections in office, server room and home network setups
• Identifiable runs where coloured cabling helps cable management

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the switch, router, patch panel or device and the other connector into the corresponding port of the receiving device. Ensure connectors click into place for proper mating. For best signal quality keep the cable run as short and free of sharp bends or strong electromagnetic interference sources. Use the yellow jacket to trace and manage connections within racks or cable trays.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m VALUE Cat6 patch cable for short, in-rack or desk-level connections where Category 6 performance is required. Avoid repeated tight bending near the connector and do not expose the cable to temperatures or mechanical stress beyond typical installation conditions. For longer runs or environments with high electromagnetic interference, consider using appropriate shielded cabling and adherence to installation standards.
