The cable uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with CCA conductors inside a black PVC jacket, terminated at both ends with moulded RJ45 plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for connecting desktop PCs, laptops, smart TVs, games consoles and network-attached storage devices to a router, switch or modem, the 5m length suits most room layouts without requiring extension or excess cable management. The over-moulded RJ45 connectors include integrated strain relief boots that prevent sharp bends at the plug entry point, reducing the risk of conductor damage during installation or repeated connection cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe moulded plugs use a snag-free design where the locking tab sits flush with the connector body, preventing the cable from catching on adjacent ports or cable guides when routing through densely-populated patch panels or rear-access network cabinets. The IP20 rating means the cable is suitable for dry indoor environments only and should not be used outdoors or in damp locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5000 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCCA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_1059626_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat speeds does CAT6 support?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCAT6 supports Fast Ethernet (100Mbps), Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) standards. For full 10GbE performance the cable run should not exceed 55m; for gigabit speeds the maximum run is 100m.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does CCA construction mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCA stands for Copper Clad Aluminium, where the conductors have an aluminium core with a copper coating. CCA cables are lighter and more cost-effective than pure copper cables, and perform well for standard home and office gigabit network installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the cable suitable for outdoor use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The IP20 rating means this cable is designed for dry indoor environments only. For outdoor or damp locations you need a cable rated IP65 or higher with UV-resistant jacketing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this work with CAT5e or CAT7 equipment?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. CAT6 cables are backwards-compatible with CAT5e equipment and forwards-compatible with CAT7 and CAT8 devices. The network will run at the speed supported by the slowest component in the chain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knightsbridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45293909606667,"sku":"NETC65M","price":1.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/10927_6ae724ed-e011-4d3a-ae65-25f6d817a1e8.jpg?v=1714666063","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/5m-cat6-utp-networking-cable-black-rj45","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
