Cat6 2m Black U/UTP Cable

Cables Direct Cat6 2m | High-Performance Ethernet Cable

The Cables Direct Cat6 2m networking cable Black U/UTP (UTP) delivers reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for home and office networks. Built to Cat6 specifications, this 2-metre cable supports speeds up to 1000 Mbps and is backward compatible with Cat5/5e networks. Its U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) design keeps installation neat while maintaining signal integrity.

Technical Specifications

Consistent Gigabit Speeds

With Cat6 certification, this cable handles 10/100/1000Base-T(X) traffic without bottlenecks. The 24 AWG conductors maintain signal strength over the full 2-metre length, ensuring stable connections for streaming, gaming, and file transfers. Unlike Cat5 cables, the tighter specifications reduce crosstalk and interference for cleaner data transmission.

Professional Installation Ready

The slim U/UTP design makes cable management straightforward in tight spaces. Black PVC jacket blends with most environments while protecting the internal wiring. Both connectors are moulded for durability and provide a secure fit in standard RJ-45 ports on routers, switches, PCs, and other network devices.

Backward Compatible Design

This cable works seamlessly with older Cat5/5e equipment while providing headroom for future upgrades. Whether connecting a legacy printer or the latest Wi-Fi router, the 250 MHz bandwidth supports current and emerging network protocols. The RJ-45 connectors fit all standard Ethernet ports without adapters.
