Network patch cable DS-IT CAT6a U/UTP 100% copper — 0.15 m, pink

Network patch cable DS-IT CAT6a U/UTP 100% copper — 0.15 m, pink is a short, high-performance copper patch cord intended for close‑range Ethernet connections. With CAT6a performance and unshielded twisted pair topology, this 0.15 m cable uses 100% copper conductors and a pink outer jacket to make patching between switches, patch panels, and wall outlets simple and visibly identifiable. It is suitable for desk-side, rack, and laboratory setups where a compact, durable copper connection is required.

Advantages

This DS-IT CAT6a patch cable delivers CAT6a-class electrical performance for high-speed Ethernet and supports up to 10 Gbps at appropriate channel lengths. The 100% copper conductors ensure low resistance and reliable signal transmission for short-distance interconnects. Its short 0.15 m length reduces cable clutter and improves airflow in racks or under desks while the pink jacket aids visual identification and tidy cable management.

Suitable for

• Patching between switch ports and patch panels in rack environments
• Short runs from wall outlets to desktop devices
• Equipment interconnects in test benches and laboratory setups
• Colour-coded cable management where visual differentiation is useful

When it may not be suitable

This 0.15 m patch cable is intended for very short connections; it is not suitable when longer cable runs are needed to cover distances between distant racks, rooms, or floors. Also, while built to CAT6a performance, its unshielded U/UTP arrangement may not be ideal in environments with exceptionally high electromagnetic interference where fully shielded cabling would be preferred.

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6a performance
• Cabling topology: U/UTP (unshielded overall, twisted pairs)
• Conductor material: 100% copper
• Length: 0.15 m
• Colour: pink jacket
• Typical applications: up to 10 Gbps Ethernet at supported channel lengths

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug of the patch cable to a network port on a switch, patch panel, or wall socket and the other plug to the corresponding device port. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Use the short length to minimize slack and route the cable alongside other patch cords or through cable management panels. For best results, avoid tight bends at the connector ends and keep the cable clear of high-power electrical cables that may introduce interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for your installation — 0.15 m is suitable only for very short connections
• Whether unshielded U/UTP is acceptable for your electromagnetic environment
• Needed network performance (CAT6a for 10 Gbps capability at appropriate channel lengths)
• Colour coding requirements for your cable management scheme

Usage recommendations

Use this DS-IT CAT6a 0.15 m patch cable for tidy, short-distance interconnects in racks and desktops; keep it away from sources of strong EMI and avoid excessive bending to maintain performance and connector reliability.
