Patch cord DATACOM 15892 UTP CAT6 0.25m red

The DATACOM 15892 UTP CAT6 patch cord is a compact 0.25 m network cable designed for short-distance connections in structured cabling and equipment racks. With an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) CAT6 construction and a red jacket for easy identification, this patch cord provides reliable Ethernet connectivity for gigabit networks in homes, server rooms and office patch panels.

Advantages

This CAT6 patch cord provides support for high-speed data transfer and maintains signal integrity over short links thanks to its UTP CAT6 twist geometry. The 0.25 m length reduces excess cable clutter in dense installations, while the durable outer jacket and molded connectors offer stable mechanical contact and resistance to everyday handling. The red color enables quick visual identification of specific links or VLANs in a larger cable bundle.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels or adjacent network ports
• Short links between routers, servers and network devices in racks
• Home or small office Ethernet connections where cable length should be minimal

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) CAT6
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connector: RJ45 molded plugs on both ends
• Colour: red
• Data rate: suitable for gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T)
• Construction: 8 conductor, 4 twisted pairs

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of your switch, router or patch panel and the other into the corresponding device port. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to guarantee a stable electrical and mechanical connection. Use the 0.25 m length where short, direct links are required to avoid cable slack inside racks or behind wall-mounted equipment.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends or crushing of the cable and maintain standard patching practices in cabinets and patch panels. Use the red colour to mark specific circuits or services and replace the patch cord if the connector latch is damaged or if intermittent connectivity is observed.
