Microconnect UTP6005B Network Cable Blue 0.5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP6005B is a Cat6 U/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and a 0.5 m length, designed to connect devices such as switches, modems or routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz, is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5, and is suitable for small office, home network and entertainment applications. The cable is blue and includes connector boots to protect the latch during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The cable provides Cat6-rated performance (tested up to 250 MHz) for reliable data transmission and supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s when used with compatible equipment. U/UTP construction reduces interference in typical installations while RJ-45 terminations ensure easy, standard connectivity. The integrated boots (snaggles) protect the connector latch and help prevent damage during installation. Its short 0.5 m length is convenient for tidy connections between close devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router to a switch or modem in small office or home setups
• Patch panel or keystone jack connections in local structured cabling
• Short, neat links between network equipment and media devices

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: U/UTP
• Color: Blue
• Data rate (maximum, dependent on equipment): up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on the devices to be linked (for example, router to switch or modem to patch panel) until the latch clicks. Route the cable through available openings or cable management without applying excessive bending force. The short 0.5 m length is intended for direct, close connections and avoids excess cable slack.

Recommendations

Use the Microconnect UTP6005B for short interconnections where minimal signal loss and neat cabling are required; avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference and do not exceed the cable's intended bending radius or tensile stress during installation.
