Microconnect UTP602P Network Cable Purple 2 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP602P RJ-45 Cat6 networking cable is a 2 m U/UTP patch cable designed for reliable wired connections between network devices such as switches, modems and routers or for linking to building infrastructure via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz and is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. The cable uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends and comes in a purple outer jacket; integrated connector boots (snaggles) help protect the plug during installation in tight spaces. The cable is suitable for small office, home network and entertainment applications and supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s.

Advantages

The Cat6 construction and U/UTP design provide tested performance up to 250 MHz while maintaining compatibility with older Cat5e/Cat5 installations. RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure plug-and-play connectivity and the included boots protect the connector latch from damage during routing and installation. The 2 m length offers flexibility for desktop and short-run connections, and the purple color allows easy identification in cable bundles.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer, switch, router or modem to a patch panel or wall outlet
• Home and small office wired networks
• AV and entertainment device connections (streaming boxes, smart TVs)
• Short-distance patching in rack or desktop setups

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your device (computer, switch, router or modem) and the other plug to the destination port such as a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place and avoid sharp bends or heavy compression of the cable. Route the cable through cable management channels or behind equipment to prevent strain on the connectors; the built-in boots help protect the latch during installation in confined spaces.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and maintain bend radii recommended for Ethernet cables. Use the 2 m length for short runs and label the purple cable in multi-cable installations to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
