Key Specifications

Why Choose This Short Cat6 Cable

The 25 cm length eliminates excess cable loops behind desks or in server racks, reducing trip hazards and improving airflow. Cat6 certification ensures minimal crosstalk and system noise compared to older Cat5e cables, delivering stable Gigabit performance for streaming, gaming, or office networks. The blue PVC jacket provides easy identification in mixed-cable environments.

Perfect for Tight Installations

This ultra-short cable excels in scenarios where space is premium: connecting wall-mounted smart TVs to nearby media players, linking patch panels in server cabinets, or tidying up workstation setups. The male-to-male RJ-45 connectors work with any standard Ethernet port without adapters.

Certified for Reliable Performance

Manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50288, and TIA/EIA-563-B.2-1 standards with ETL/3P certification, this cable meets rigorous testing for data integrity and durability. The U/UTP design balances cost-effectiveness with adequate interference protection for most indoor networking applications.

Check Before You Buy

• Confirm your devices use standard RJ-45 ports (not proprietary connectors)
• Verify you need exactly 25 cm length – measure your connection gap
• Check if your environment requires shielded (STP) rather than unshielded (UTP) cable
• Ensure your network equipment supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this cable suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

A: Yes, Cat6 cables support PoE applications, but verify your PoE device requirements.

Q: Can I use this for outdoor installations?

A: This cable is designed for indoor use only – outdoor installations require weatherproof cable.

Q: What’s the difference between U/UTP and F/UTP shielding?

A: U/UTP has no shielding, while F/UTP has foil around all pairs. This cable uses U/UTP.

Q: Will this work with my older Cat5e equipment?

A: Yes, Cat6 is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 devices.

Q: How flexible is the cable for tight bends?

A: Standard Cat6 flexibility applies – avoid sharp bends to maintain performance.
