RS PRO Cat6 Ethernet Cable 2m Black RJ45 Male to RJ45 Male U/UTP Low Smoke Zero Halogen 557-363

The RS PRO Cat6 Ethernet Cable, model 557-363, is a professional-grade network patch lead intended for high-speed data communications in office, commercial, IT, and industrial automation environments. This cable features a low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) outer sheath, making it specially suitable for locations where fire safety and air quality are critical - a material that minimizes smoke and toxic emissions in the event of a fire, safeguarding the health of personnel and sensitive equipment.

With a LAN Category 6 specification and U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction, the cable supports reliable Gigabit ethernet transmission. This specific 2-meter length is optimal for connecting computers, network switches, routers, and hubs without excess slack. The cable comprises several thin copper strands, providing kink protection, durability, and flexibility necessary for frequent handling and re-routing in structured cabling systems.

The cable includes two RJ45 male connectors, one at each end, compatible with industry-standard patch panels and network devices. The black LSZH jacket provides robust mechanical protection and allows easy identification among a variety of cable runs, ensuring neat installations and reduced confusion. Rated at 30V, it can safely operate in standard networking voltage ranges.

It is rigorously tested and certified to EC 1907/2006, IEC 61935-2, ISO/IEC 11801 2nd Edition, and RoHS standards, guaranteeing compliance with international regulations and quality requirements. This assurance includes compatibility for up to 10-Gigabit Ethernet operation when used with Cat6-rated hardware and wiring. RS PRO has further subjected these cables to individual quality testing, reinforcing their reputation for consistent performance and reliability.

Applications include network installations in offices, data centers, education, manufacturing, and any commercial environment requiring secure, high-efficiency, and standards-compliant cabling. The LSZH feature is vital in public spaces and safety-focused applications.

If storing, roll the cable loosely to prevent kinking and keep connector ends clean by using a protective case. Note, for maximum performance, use with Cat6-compatible patch cables, jacks, and connectors.
