Καλώδιο δικτύου METZ CONNECT Ultraflex500 0,5m Cat6 SF/UTP

The METZ CONNECT Ultraflex500 0.5m Cat6 SF/UTP networking cable is a short patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in confined or equipment-dense installations. It features SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, RJ-45 connectors with copper plating for consistent contact quality, and a flexible jacket that facilitates routing in tight spaces. The cable supports standard Cat6 performance and is supplied in black to blend with common networking equipment.

Advantages

This Cat6 SF/UTP cable combines shielding and flexibility to provide improved signal integrity in environments with potential interference while remaining easy to install in patch panels, switches, and server racks. Copper-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure stable electrical contact and corrosion resistance for long-term use. The 0.5 m length reduces excess cabling and helps maintain tidy, efficient connections between nearby devices.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switch ports and server or workstation NICs
• Rack- and cabinet-side cabling in data centres and telecommunications rooms
• Network test setups and lab environments requiring frequent reconfiguration
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where SF/UTP shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: SF/UTP (overall foil + braided shield with unshielded pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Contact plating: copper-plated contacts
• Color: black
• Rated data transfer: up to 100 Mbit/s (typical Cat6 applications)
• Flexible jacket suitable for tight routing

How to use

Connect each end of the cable to the RJ-45 ports of the devices you wish to link, ensuring a firm click indicates a secure connection. Use the 0.5 m length for short-distance patching to minimize cable slack and improve airflow within racks. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends beyond the manufacturer’s bend radius to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. Verify link status on connected devices to confirm successful connection and data transmission.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 SF/UTP cable in short-range connections inside racks or patch panels and keep it separated from high-voltage power lines. Inspect connectors periodically for wear and replace the cable if physical damage or degraded connection quality is observed.
