Microconnect UTP680 netwerkkabel grijs 80 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP680 RJ-45 Cat6 networking cable is an 80 m U/UTP Cat6 patch cable designed for reliable wired connections between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels and wall outlets. It supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and meets Cat6 testing up to 250 MHz while remaining backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. The cable is grey and supplied with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and integrated latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during tight installations.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable provides high-speed data transfer and stable performance for home and small office networks. Tested to the Cat6 standard (up to 250 MHz) and backwards compatible with older categories, it supports a wide range of network devices. The integrated latch protection helps prevent connector breakage during installation, and the 80 m length reduces the need for intermediate joins in longer runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall jacks
• Wired LAN setups in home and small office environments
• Multimedia and entertainment systems requiring stable Ethernet connections
• Structured cabling runs where an 80 m cable length is appropriate

How to use

Plan the cable route between your network devices and any patch panel or wall outlet, then unroll the Microconnect UTP680 carefully to avoid kinks. Terminate the RJ-45 connectors into the device ports or patch panel jacks until the latch clicks into place; the latch protection reduces the risk of damage when feeding the cable through confined spaces. Test the connection with a network tester or by verifying link/activity LEDs on connected equipment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the Cat6 cable parallel and close to power lines or fluorescent lighting. Use proper cable management and avoid sharp bends; keep the cable length within recommended standards for critical installations and use a certified tester to verify performance after installation.
