VALUE UTP Cable Cat.6 halogen-free black 0.5 m, U/UTP, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold contacts

VALUE UTP Cable Cat.6 halogen-free black, 0.5 m, U/UTP, RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold contacts is a short patch cable designed for Ethernet connections up to Cat6 performance. The cable uses an unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) construction with four stranded copper pairs and RJ-45 plugs on both ends wired 1:1 according to EIA/TIA 568 conventions. The halogen-free, flame-retardant jacket produces low smoke in case of fire and the moulded kink protection at each connector increases mechanical durability while maintaining flexibility for tight routing in racks, patch panels and desktop setups.

Advantages

The cable provides Cat6-compliant transmission for short links with consistent contact reliability thanks to gold-plated RJ-45 contacts and high-quality plugs. Its stranded conductor construction balances flexibility and signal integrity for frequent handling and routing in confined spaces. The halogen-free outer jacket reduces toxic fumes and smoke during combustion, and integrated moulded kink protection reduces wear at connector entry points.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches, patch panels and access points in office and data cabinet environments
• Short network links in home networks and small workstations
• Temporary or permanent connections where flexible routing and tight bends are required
• Environments where low-smoke, halogen-free cabling is preferred for safety

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Conductor: 4-pair stranded copper
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Wiring: 1:1 contact assignment (EIA/TIA 568 compatible)
• Jacket: halogen-free, flame retardant, low smoke
• Design: moulded kink protection, flexible for narrow bending

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug into the corresponding network device port until the latch clicks into place. Use this 0.5 m patch cable for short point-to-point connections such as from a network switch to a patch panel, switch-to-switch uplinks in racks, or from a switch to a desktop access point. Avoid sharp creases or excessive force on the connectors; route the cable following existing cable management channels and leave a small service loop where feasible to prevent tension at the plugs.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable length within recommended patching distances for Cat6 and avoid bundling high numbers of cables tightly with power lines. Inspect connector contacts and strain reliefs periodically in environments with frequent re-plugging; replace the cable if visible damage or persistent link errors occur.
