MicroConnect U/UTP CAT6 3M Network Cable Grey/Lavender

The MicroConnect U/UTP CAT6 3M network cable in grey/lavender is a Category 6 unshielded twisted pair cable engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission across home and office networks. At 3 metres long, this cable provides a balance between reach and tidy cable routing for desktop connections, network switches, routers and patch panels. It conforms to CAT6 performance parameters and is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet links, offering consistent throughput and reduced crosstalk compared with lower category cables.

Advantages

This U/UTP CAT6 cable delivers up to 1 Gbps transmission speed over standard copper cabling and supports typical network applications without additional shielding. The 3 m length allows flexible placement of devices while keeping excess cable manageable. The grey/lavender jacket provides a distinct visual identification option for organized cabling runs and easy tracing. The cable construction minimizes near-end crosstalk and maintains signal integrity for common Ethernet distances.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, printers and networked peripherals to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch connections in small office or home rack setups
• Temporary or permanent workstation cabling where a 3 m reach is sufficient
• Structured cabling runs requiring CAT6 performance for Gigabit Ethernet

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6 (unshielded twisted pair, U/UTP)
• Length: 3 metres
• Conductor type: solid copper conductors suitable for fixed installations and reliable signal transmission
• Bandwidth: supports frequencies typical for CAT6 cabling suitable for Gigabit Ethernet
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated at both ends for standard Ethernet ports
• Outer jacket colour: grey with lavender marking for visual identification
• Usage environment: indoor use for home and office networks

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to the Ethernet port of your device and the other connector to the port on your router, switch or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched to establish a secure physical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it clear of power cables to reduce potential interference. For best results, use with devices and network equipment that support Gigabit Ethernet.

Recommendations

Inspect the cable jacket and connectors before installation. Avoid kinking or tightly coiling the cable to preserve conductor integrity. For permanent installations, secure the cable with clips or ties without compressing the jacket, and maintain recommended separation from electrical wiring to minimize noise.
