Microconnect UTP602Y Network Cable Yellow 2 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP602Y is a 2 m Cat6 UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends, designed for wired connections between devices such as switches, routers, modems and patch panels. It supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz and data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s, and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. The cable uses U/UTP construction to reduce interference and comes in a yellow jacket with integrated connector boots to protect the latch during installations in confined spaces.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable provides tested performance to 250 MHz and supports high-speed data transfer up to 10000 Mbit/s. The U/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, while RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure straightforward plug-and-play connectivity. The molded boots (snaggles) protect the connector latch during installation and help prevent damage when routing the cable through tight spaces. Backward compatibility with Cat5e and Cat5 allows use in mixed cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, modems and patch panels
• Home and small office wired networks
• Entertainment systems and media streaming devices
• Temporary or permanent workstation connections

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports of your devices (for example, from a router to a switch or from a patch panel to a workstation). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic noise for optimal signal integrity. For installations through tight conduits or behind equipment, use the molded boot to protect the latch while pulling the cable.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, keep cable runs within recommended distance limits for Ethernet standards, avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines, and inspect connectors for damage before use. Use the yellow colour to mark or identify specific network segments or device groups.
