Patch cord DATACOM 15902 UTP Cat6 0.5m Red

The DATACOM Patch cord UTP Cat6 0.5m Red is a short-length unshielded twisted pair cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in local networks. Its Cat6 specification supports higher transmission frequencies than Cat5e, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet environments and short runs between patch panels, switches and workstations. The bright red jacket helps with colour-coded cabling and quick visual identification in dense racks or small installations.

Advantages

This patch cord offers stable data transfer for short-distance links with reduced crosstalk compared to lower-category cables. The compact 0.5 m length minimises excess cable clutter and keeps patch bays tidy. Constructed to standard RJ45 connectivity, it provides compatibility with common Ethernet hardware and straightforward plug-and-play installation. The coloured outer jacket improves cable management and visual organisation without affecting electrical performance.

Suitable for

• Patching between switch ports and wall outlets in racks and cabinets
• Short horizontal connections in office desks or server rooms
• Color-coded network segmentation and identification

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Suitable for: Gigabit Ethernet and lower-speed Ethernet standards
• Jacket colour: Red

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices until the latch clicks. Use this 0.5 m patch cord for short point-to-point links where excess cable would interfere with equipment layout. Ensure connectors are fully seated and ports are free of debris. For best results, avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector boots and maintain minimal strain on the terminations.

Usage recommendations

Use the red DATACOM Cat6 patch cord to simplify cable identification and reduce patching mistakes in multi‑device setups. Keep patch cords at appropriate lengths for tidy, airflow‑friendly racks and avoid running unshielded cords alongside high‑voltage power lines to reduce potential interference.
