Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP6-025R Patchcord Cat6 UTP 0.25m Red

The C-TECH CB-PP6-025R Patchcord Cat6 UTP 0.25m Red is a short-length Ethernet cable designed for interconnecting network devices where space is limited. This Cat6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable provides a compact connection option for patch panels, switches, routers and network interface cards, permitting up to Cat6 performance over very short runs. The red jacket makes it easy to identify specific links within a structured cabling environment.

Advantages

The cable offers Cat6-level transmission characteristics suitable for high-speed local connections while keeping a small physical footprint. Its 0.25 m length reduces cable clutter and improves airflow in equipment racks. The UTP construction supports standard Ethernet signaling without additional shielding, and the colored outer sheath facilitates quick visual identification during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between adjacent ports on switches and patch panels
• Direct device-to-device links where only a short cable is required
• Cable management in dense racks and network closets
• Environments requiring color-coded cabling for easier identification

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Pair type: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Color: Red
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices until the connector latch clicks into place. Use this 0.25 m patchcord for connections where short reach is required, such as linking adjacent ports on a switch or connecting devices mounted close together in a rack. Verify link status on the connected devices after installation to confirm proper negotiation and speed.

Usage recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile stress. Use the red color as part of a color-coding scheme to distinguish connection types or VLANs. For performance consistency, keep cable lengths appropriate for the intended network topology and avoid running near sources of strong electromagnetic interference.
