Cat6 LAN Cable 20m — Pre-Terminated RJ45 Ethernet Patch Cable, Light Grey (Uganda)
The Cat6 LAN Cable 20m — Pre-Terminated RJ45 Ethernet Patch Cable (Light Grey) is a plug-and-play Gigabit Ethernet cable ideal for medium-length runs at ISP PoP sites, NOC server rooms, MDU subscriber deployments, and home/office installations. Factory-crimped RJ45 connectors at both ends ensure a reliable, tested connection straight out of the box — no crimping tools required.
Connect your MikroTik ISP router or switch across a PoP room, link your Dell PowerEdge R640 RADIUS/billing server to your core switch, or extend a subscriber connection from a hallway distribution point to a room — all without any termination work. Pair your network infrastructure with your ISP Billing & Subscriber Management Platform for end-to-end ISP operations.
