RS PRO Cat6 Ethernet Cable 3 m Red RJ45 Male to RJ45 Male F/UTP Low Smoke Zero Halogen 557-092

The RS PRO Cat6 Ethernet Cable, model 557-092, offers a professional-grade solution for robust networking connections in commercial, industrial, and laboratory environments. Designed for high-speed data transmission, this cable is ideal for enhancing audio and visual capabilities between Ethernet-compatible devices, such as computers, switches, routers, and networked peripherals.

The cable features a 3-meter length, providing excellent flexibility for device positioning in racks, server rooms, IT labs, or office environments. Its distinctive red jacket assists with easy identification among multiple cable runs, helping streamline cable management and reduce installation errors. The male RJ45 connectors at both ends ensure compatibility with standard networking equipment, facilitating straightforward plug-and-play connectivity.

This Cat6 cable utilizes a foil-shielded twisted pair (F/UTP) construction, offering reliable protection against external electromagnetic interference. This shielding design maintains signal integrity, preventing cross-talk and ensuring stable, high-speed data transfer, with transfer rates up to 1 Gigabit (1000 Mbps) for demanding file transfers or real-time communications.

The outer sheath is manufactured from low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) material, maximizing safety by minimizing the emission of toxic fumes in case of fire. Compliance with EC 1907/2006 (REACH), IEC 61935-2, ISO/IEC 11801 2nd Edition, and Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) means the cable meets rigorous international standards for safety, environmental responsibility, and performance.

Rated for 30V operation, the cable is suitable for typical Ethernet and data communication voltages. Its terminated, straight-through wiring configuration supports both legacy Ethernet networks (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX) and modern Gigabit systems, making it adaptable for upgrades, extensions, or new installations across a wide range of industries.

Use cases include industrial automation, laboratory data acquisition, professional AV installations, commercial office networking, education and research settings, server management, and warehouse connectivity. The robust build quality and compliance to international standards ensure reliable operation in both mission-critical and routine applications.
