Sandberg UTP Cat6 5 m Network Cable

The Sandberg UTP Cat6 5 m Network Cable is a high‑performance, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable designed for modern networking environments. With its 5‑meter length and Category 6 specification, it delivers reliable data transmission at speeds up to 10 Gbps over short distances, making it ideal for home offices, small businesses, and multimedia setups.

Key Technical Specifications

• Length: 5 meters (16.4 feet)
• Cable Category: Cat6 – supports up to 250 MHz bandwidth
• Connector Type: RJ‑45 on both ends, standard for Ethernet connections
• Shielding: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) – suitable for typical indoor environments with minimal electromagnetic interference
• Maximum Data Rate: 10 Gbps over 5 meters; 1 Gbps over longer runs up to 100 meters
• Compliance: Meets ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA-568 standards for performance and reliability

Design Features

The cable’s construction incorporates tightly twisted pairs that reduce crosstalk and signal degradation. Each pair is wrapped in a durable jacket that resists abrasion, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring longevity even in demanding indoor settings.

Its slim profile allows easy routing through walls, ceilings, or along baseboards without creating bulky cable bundles. The RJ‑45 connectors are precision molded for secure attachment, preventing accidental disconnections during heavy use.

Performance Highlights

• High Bandwidth: Cat6’s 250 MHz capability supports high‑definition video streaming, large file transfers, and real‑time gaming without lag.
• Low Latency: The cable’s low attenuation ensures minimal delay between source and destination devices.
• Future‑Proofing: While many current networks operate at 1 Gbps, the 10 Gbps capability of Cat6 prepares users for upcoming upgrades without needing new cabling.

Installation & Compatibility

The Sandberg UTP Cat6 5 m Network Cable is plug‑and‑play. Simply connect one RJ‑45 end to a network device (router, switch, or computer) and the other to the corresponding port on the opposite device. It is fully compatible with:

• Standard Ethernet switches and routers
• Desktop computers, laptops, and all devices with RJ‑45 ports
• Network-attached storage (NAS) systems for fast data access
• Gaming consoles and media streaming devices that benefit from stable connections

Ideal Use Cases

• Home Networking: Connect a router to a desktop or gaming console within the same room.
• Small Office Setups: Link office computers to a central switch or access point for efficient collaboration.
• Multimedia Streaming: Provide a reliable link between a media server and smart TV or streaming device.
• Temporary Installations: Quick deployment in event venues, temporary offices, or during network migrations.

Maintenance Tips

• Keep the cable away from high‑voltage power lines to minimize interference.
• Avoid sharp bends; maintain a minimum bend radius of 10 times the cable diameter for optimal performance.
• Store unused cables in a cool, dry place and avoid crushing or folding them excessively.
