Netwerkkabel S/CONN 08-22040 grijs 3 m Cat6 U/UTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-22040 Grey 3 m Cat6 U/UTP is a 3 meter patch cable engineered for wired Ethernet connections up to 1000 Mbit/s. It uses Cat6 wiring standards and U/UTP construction to provide consistent signal transmission with reduced crosstalk. The cable is terminated with RJ-45 plugs featuring gold-plated contacts to improve conductivity and resist oxidation, and its grey jacket offers a neutral aesthetic suitable for home and office installations.

Advantages

This Cat6 U/UTP cable delivers gigabit-capable data transfer rates and maintains reliable performance across typical LAN distances. The U/UTP configuration reduces external electromagnetic interference while keeping internal pairs unshielded for flexibility. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure steady contact quality and lower contact resistance over time. The 3 m length balances reach and cable management needs in desktop, rack, and patch panel setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and network switches within homes and small offices
• Linking routers, modems and access points to wired network infrastructure
• Patch connections between patch panels and switches in small server rooms

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Length: 3 m
• Shielding: U/UTP (overall unshielded with individual pairs unshielded)
• Rated data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (gigabit Ethernet)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Outer jacket color: grey

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on the switch, router or modem. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the clip clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and tension; maintain gentle curves and avoid kinking to preserve internal pair geometry. For patch panel or switch installations, use the 3 m length to provide tidy cable runs and reduce excess slack.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and large motors to minimize electromagnetic interference. Use the cable within standard operating temperature and humidity ranges and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or chemicals that may degrade the jacket. If longer runs or additional EMI protection are required, consider a higher category or shielded cable variant.
