Ethernet patch cable VALUE Cat6 U/UTP, halogen-free, RJ‑45–RJ‑45, 0.5 m, blue

VALUE Cat6 Ethernet patch cable, 0.5 m in blue, is a short network patch lead with U/UTP wiring and RJ‑45 connectors on both ends, designed for reliable Gigabit LAN connections between patch panels, switches, routers and workstations. The cable uses four pairs of stranded copper conductors with contact wiring 1:1 in accordance with the EIA/TIA 568 standard. A halogen‑free, flame‑retardant and low‑smoke jacket improves safety in confined spaces while gold‑plated contacts ensure stable signal transmission and corrosion resistance.

Advantages

The VALUE Cat6 patch cable combines compact length and flexibility to simplify short interconnections in racks and workstation areas without excess cable bulk. Molded kink protection at each connector increases mechanical durability and reduces strain at the plug entry. Unshielded twisted pair construction provides standard performance for Gigabit Ethernet while the halogen‑free jacket reduces toxic and corrosive fumes in case of fire. Gold‑plated contacts and precise 1:1 contact settings help maintain reliable connectivity and low contact resistance.

Suitable for

• Short connections between patch panels and switches in server racks
• Connecting network devices such as routers, switches and desktop PCs
• Cable management in dense wiring environments and patch fields
• Temporary and permanent interconnections in office and home networks

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (performance for Gigabit Ethernet)
• Wiring: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector types: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45
• Contact plating: gold‑plated contacts
• Conductor: 4‑pair stranded copper
• Contact configuration: 1:1 (EIA/TIA 568 standard)
• Outer jacket: halogen‑free, flame retardant, low smoke
• Molded kink protection for strain relief

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the network port of the device to be connected and the other RJ‑45 connector into the corresponding port on the switch, patch panel or router. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages and route the cable following existing cable management paths to avoid sharp bends or excessive tension. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high‑voltage power lines and keep the bend radius within manufacturer recommendations for stranded cables.

Usage recommendations

Use the short 0.5 m length for tidy patching in racks or when space between devices is limited. Combine with color‑coded patch cables for easier identification of network segments and maintain accessible connector latches to allow quick reconfiguration.
