Product Information

Full details

The Microconnect CAT6 15m network cable is designed for home users, IT enthusiasts, and small office environments requiring a reliable, high-speed wired connection between routers, modems, and networking gear. It provides a robust 10,000 Mbit/s data transfer rate and features a durable LSZH jacket, making it a versatile choice for permanent installations; however, at 15 meters in length, it is best suited for long-distance runs rather than clutter-free short-patch desk connections.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this cable shielded?

This is a U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable, which provides standard protection against crosstalk.

Can I use this with my Cat5e router?

Yes, this cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards.

What is the benefit of an LSZH jacket?

LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jackets produce less toxic smoke and no halogen acid gases in the event of a fire.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

It is not recommended for outdoor use. The jacket is not UV-stabilized or waterproofed for long-term exposure to the elements.

What does the 24 AWG wire size mean?

AWG refers to the thickness of the copper wire. 24 AWG is the standard size for high-performance data cables, balancing flexibility with electrical conductivity.

Troubleshooting

No network connection detected

Verify both RJ-45 connectors are fully seated in the ports until they click. Ensure the port on your router or computer is active.

Intermittent network dropouts

Check the cable for physical damage, such as deep cuts or sharp kinks. Ensure the cable is not running parallel to heavy power lines, which can cause interference.

Connector latch does not click

Inspect the RJ-45 head for debris. The snagless boot may be obstructed; pull the boot back slightly to ensure the latch has full freedom of movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-speed 10Gbps support for modern networking
  • LSZH jacket enhances safety in enclosed environments
  • Snagless connectors prevent latch damage during cable management
  • Flexible stranded copper makes it easier to route around corners

Cons

  • Long 15m length may result in excessive cable slack if not managed
  • U/UTP shielding is less effective against high EMI than STP cables
  • Fixed length cannot be shortened without re-terminating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal performance, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles, as this can degrade internal signal integrity. While the cable is flexible, ensure it is not pinched by heavy furniture or doors. It is fully plug-and-play; simply insert the RJ-45 connector into any standard networking port until you hear a distinct 'click'. The LSZH material is halogen-free, which is safer in fire events but should be kept away from direct, high-heat sources. To clean, use a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the outer jacket.
