This Microconnect CAT6 UTP network cable is ideal for home, small office, and entertainment network setups requiring reliable, high-speed data transfer up to 10 Gbps. Its 3-meter length offers flexibility for connecting devices like routers, switches, or computers. A key benefit is its backward compatibility with older CAT5e and CAT5 standards, ensuring broad usability. The primary caveat is that it's an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable, making it more susceptible to electromagnetic interference in environments with heavy electrical activity compared to shielded alternatives.

This CAT6 cable supports data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbps (10000 Mbit/s).
No, this is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. It is suitable for most general networking tasks but may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference in noisy environments.
Yes, this CAT6 cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 standards, ensuring it will work with older network equipment.
The 250 MHz rating indicates the frequency range over which the cable is tested and specified to perform reliably according to the CAT6 standard. This is sufficient for its rated speeds.
The conductor material is Copper-Clad Aluminium (CCA).
This specific model has a cable length of 3 meters.
Latch protection refers to a feature on the RJ45 connector that helps prevent the locking tab from breaking off, which is common when installing cables in tight spaces.
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Verify that the network device (router, switch, computer) is powered on and functioning correctly. Try a different network port on your device or infrastructure. Test with a different known-good cable to rule out a faulty cable.
Check for physical damage to the cable, especially the connectors and the cable jacket. Ensure the cable is not too close to sources of electromagnetic interference. Restart your modem, router, and connected device. If the issue persists, the cable might be damaged or experiencing interference; consider replacing it or trying a shielded cable if interference is suspected.
Confirm the cable is fully seated in both the network adapter and the switch/router port. Check the network adapter settings on your computer. Ensure the device you are connecting to is powered on and configured correctly. Try a different cable to see if the issue is with the cable itself.
Setup:
Simply plug one RJ45 connector into an available network port on your device (e.g., router, switch, computer, gaming console) and the other connector into the corresponding port on your network infrastructure. Ensure a secure click when inserting the connectors.
Compatibility:
This cable is compliant with the CAT6 standard and is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5. It uses standard RJ45 connectors, making it compatible with virtually all networking devices that use this port type.
