X-Shield verkkokaapeli XS-CAT6-UUTP-BLK-50CM 0,5 m U/UTP musta

The X-Shield networking cable XS-CAT6-UUTP-BLK-50CM 0.5m U/UTP Black is a 0.5 metre Cat6 patch cable designed for reliable, high-speed wired connections. The cable implements U/UTP shielding to reduce external electromagnetic interference while using RJ-45 termination for compatibility with standard networking equipment. Its compact length and black jacket make it suitable for short links in rack, desktop, and home networking setups where Cat6 performance is required.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable provides performance consistent with Category 6 standards, supporting high-frequency signal transmission for improved bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category cables. The U/UTP construction offers a balance between interference protection and flexibility, and the RJ-45 connectors ensure broad compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices. The 0.5 m length reduces excess cable clutter and is convenient for close-proximity connections.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between network devices (switch to patch panel, router to switch)
• Desktop and workstation networking where a compact cable is needed
• Home and small office network installations requiring Cat6 performance
• Equipment racks and patch bays with limited cable routing space

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (Category 6) compliance for gigabit data transmission
• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with overall foil or similar external protection)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Cable colour: Black
• Suitable applications: Ethernet networks up to gigabit speeds

How to use

Connect the cable by inserting each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks. Use the 0.5 m cable for short distance links to avoid cable slack; route it along cable management channels or through patch panels as needed. Ensure connectors are fully seated and compatible with the device ports. For best signal integrity, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable.

Recommendations

Use this compact Cat6 U/UTP cable for short runs where minimal cable length is desired. Keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference, such as large transformers or heavy electrical wiring, even though U/UTP offers some protection. Replace the cable if connectors become worn or if network diagnostics indicate degraded performance.
