A short 1.5-metre Netix CAT6 UTP patch cable in blue, with pre-crimped and tested RJ45 plugs on both ends. At this length it is ideal for connecting a desktop PC or laptop dock to a wall socket right next to the desk, linking a router to a nearby switch, or patching gear inside a small network cabinet without loops of excess cable. CAT6 is rated up to 250MHz and supports data transfer up to 1000Mbps, so it handles Gigabit fibre connections in South African homes and offices with room to spare, and it remains backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 equipment. The bright blue jacket makes it easy to identify a specific link in a busy rack or behind a TV cabinet. Plug-and-play with any standard Ethernet port. Supplied in Netix retail packaging; Esquire lists it with no warranty.
