These RS PRO patch leads, also known as Ethernet patch cables are manufactured using Category 6 cables, commonly referred to as Cat6 Cable. They are electrical cables often used in office environments to link computers to a network hub, router or Ethernet switch.

They are a shielded foiled twisted pairs (S/FTP), which means the copper wires are twisted together and covered with a foil shield with braided shielding on the outer layer of the cable. This type of shielding helps to prevent electromagnetic interference and protect against cross-talk and system noise.

These RS PRO Cat 6 patch leads are available in different lengths and colours, which make the identification of the cable easy. The patch cable is made up of several thin strands of copper wire, which offer both kink protection and flexibility and are compatible for a 10-Gigabit Ethernet.

• Different lengths of Ethernet cable up to 10 meters
• Variety of different colours – Blue, Yellow, Green, Red, Black
• PVC protective jacket on the Cat6 which improves durability
• Moulded kink offers protection and flexibility
• High speed of data transmission
• Cables are made with RJ-45 plug and click lock

Cat 6 cables can be identified through markings printed on the cable sheath and will display a ’Cat 6’ or ’Category 6’ marking.

When storing your Cat6 patch leads, we advise you lightly roll your cables into a loose coil, going with the natural curve of the wire. When not in use, we suggest the cables are stored in a protective case where dust and impurities will not get into the connector ends.

RS PRO is our own brand range and brings you a wide range of high-quality, great value products offering you more choice. Trusted by engineers all over the world, every part of every RS PRO product has been rigorously tested against demanding industry standards; they’re only given the RS PRO seal of approval if we’re confident of their exceptional quality, which means you can be confident too.

Please note that if a Cat 6 patch cable, jacks and connectors are not used with Cat6 wiring, the overall performance may be effected. Each cable has been individually tested by leading engineers.
