RS PRO Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable, Unshielded, 5m, RJ45 Male to Male, Yellow, PVC Jacket 556-550

The RS PRO 556-550 Cat6 Ethernet cable is a specialized networking cable engineered for efficient data transmission in industrial, commercial, and IT environments. With a 5 meter length and equipped with high-quality RJ45 male connectors on both ends, it allows seamless and secure connectivity for devices within network infrastructures including offices, laboratories, data centers, and manufacturing facilities.

This cable is constructed using Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) wiring, enabling high-speed network performance suitable for demanding data-intensive applications. The unshielded format features pairs of copper wires twisted together, which minimizes both crosstalk and electromagnetic interference without the need for additional shielding, making it a preferred solution in clean environments where installation flexibility and bandwidth are required.

The cable's bright yellow color coding and robust polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket facilitate easy identification and offer enhanced durability. The protective PVC layer supports kink resistance while maintaining the flexibility needed for convenient routing and installation, even in tighter spaces. Its booted strain relief design strengthens both connectors, providing extra resistance against mechanical stresses and latch wear during repeated connections and disconnections.

Designed for modern networks, the RS PRO Cat6 cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet transmission, ensuring future-proof compatibility as network infrastructures evolve. It is fully compliant with EC 1907/2006, IEC 61935-2, and ISO/IEC 11801 2nd Edition standards, and is RoHS compliant for safety and environmental quality. The cable's 30V voltage rating ensures it is well-suited for data communications installations.

Engineers and IT managers will find this cable particularly advantageous for structured cabling projects, network expansions, and equipment upgrades requiring certified Cat6 performance. Typical use cases include connecting computers, switches, routers, VoIP phones, and other networking hardware across server racks, patch panels, and wall outlets within commercial, industrial, or institutional locales.

Every RS PRO 556-550 cable undergoes strict individual testing for mechanical and electrical reliability, meeting the brand's quality assurances. When storing or coiling, it is recommended to follow the natural curve and avoid over-bending to maintain optimal connector performance. For best results, pair with Cat6-compliant connectors and jacks.
