Cables Direct ERT-600B | 0.5 m Cat6 U/TP Network Cable

The Cables Direct ERT-600B networking cable Blue 0.5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP) delivers dependable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for home and office networks. This short Cat6 patch cable is designed for high-speed data transmission up to 250 MHz, making it ideal for connecting devices within close proximity.

Built for reliable Cat6 performance

The ERT-600B meets strict Cat6 specifications for crosstalk and system noise reduction. This ensures stable Gigabit Ethernet connections without interference, even in environments with multiple network cables running nearby. The 24 AWG conductors provide the right balance of flexibility and signal integrity for everyday networking tasks.

Professional-grade construction

This cable features durable PVC jacket material that protects the internal wiring while maintaining flexibility for easy routing. The U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) design keeps the cable lightweight and cost-effective for standard networking applications where extreme electromagnetic interference isn’t a concern.

Compact 0.5 m length for tidy setups

At just 0.5 metres, this cable is perfect for connecting devices that sit close together, such as a computer to a nearby switch or a router to a modem. The shorter length reduces cable clutter and potential signal degradation over distance, making it ideal for organised desk setups or rack-mounted equipment.

Certified for peace of mind

The ERT-600B carries ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50288, and TIA/EIA-563-B.2-1 certifications, verified by ETL/3P. These industry-standard certifications confirm the cable meets rigorous performance and safety requirements for networking applications.
