Network patch cable ICIDU CAT 6a unshielded (U/UTP) 7.5 m, red

ICIDU CAT 6a unshielded (U/UTP) network patch cable, 7.5 m in bright red, designed for high-speed LAN and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. The cable uses four twisted pairs and standard RJ45 terminations to provide reliable connectivity between switches, patch panels, routers and networked devices. With performance rated for 250 MHz and above, this CAT 6a cable reduces alien crosstalk and supports demanding data transfer tasks in office, data‑cabinet and home network environments where a clearly identifiable red cable is required.

Advantages

The unshielded U/UTP construction offers flexible handling and easy routing in structured cabling installations while maintaining the electrical characteristics required for CAT 6a performance. Standard RJ45 plugs ensure compatibility with network equipment. The 7.5 m length covers typical patching distances inside racks or between workstations and network points, and the red sheath provides immediate visual identification for segregated circuits or critical links.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in local area networks
• Patch panel to switch or switch to device patching in data cabinets
• Office and home LAN wiring where color-coded identification is needed
• Temporary or permanent cable runs between network equipment up to 7.5 m

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT 6a (augmented CAT6)
• Construction: unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP), 4 pairs
• Length: 7.5 meters
• Connectors: RJ45 on both ends, 8P8C
• Frequency rating: 250 MHz and above
• Color: red

How to use

Plug one RJ45 termination into the network device or switch port and the other end into the patch panel, router or workstation network jack. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that cable routing avoids sharp bends or crushing points to maintain performance. For rack installations, secure the cable with appropriate ties or management panels to prevent strain on connectors. Test the link with network testing equipment if verification of 10 Gb/s capability is required.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid bundling large numbers of U/UTP cables with untested sources of electromagnetic interference and maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radii. Use color-coded cables like red to identify critical circuits or specific VLANs, and periodically inspect connectors and routing for wear or damage.
