Network patch cable INCA Cat6 UTP 250 MHz RJ45 1.00 m red

INCA Cat6 UTP 250 MHz RJ45 1.00 m red is a 1-metre unshielded twisted pair patch cable with RJ45 male connectors at both ends. Engineered for Ethernet networks, this Cat6 UTP cable supports frequencies up to 250 MHz and is suitable for short-run Gigabit connections between switches, routers, patch panels and workstations. The red jacket provides clear visual identification for network runs and easy cable management in offices, homes and data cabinets.

Advantages

The cable uses four twisted pairs with 0.57 mm solid conductors and polyolefin insulation, meeting Cat6 performance characteristics up to 250 MHz. RJ45 terminations on both ends ensure compatibility with standard network ports and support 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Ethernet. A coloured jacket simplifies identification in multi-cable installations, while protective plastic strain relief at connector ends reduces the risk of breakage during handling and frequent re-patching.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting switches and routers to patch panels or wall outlets in offices and server rooms
• Short horizontal runs between desktops or workstations and wall ports
• Temporary network setups for events, testing or diagnostics
• Colour-coded cable management where red identification is required

When it may not be suitable

This is an unshielded (UTP) cable, so it may not be suitable in environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling would be preferred. The 1.00 m length is intended for short connections; it is not designed for long-distance backbone runs.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Frequency rating: up to 250 MHz
• Length: 1.00 m
• Conductors: 4 twisted pairs, 8 insulated conductors, solid 0.57 mm conductor diameter
• Insulation material: polyolefin
• Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male

• Operating temperature: -20 °C to +50 °C; storage: -20 °C to +70 °C
• Jacket colour: red
• Bending radius: recommended 8× cable outer diameter (minimum 4× for tighter bends)

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network ports of your devices—such as switches, routers, patch panels or PCs—until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the red cable for visually distinct runs or to follow an established colour-coding scheme in your installation. Avoid sharp bends near the connector and maintain the recommended bending radius to preserve signal integrity and mechanical durability. For best performance, use this Cat6 cable for short, direct connections within the same room or rack.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length—this product is 1.00 m for short connections
• Environmental conditions—UTP cable is not shielded against electromagnetic interference
• Compatibility with network speeds—supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) on short runs
• Colour coding—red jacket for easy identification in multi-cable setups

Usage recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, avoid excessive bending and maintain solid contact at RJ45 ports. Use the red INCA Cat6 patch cable for short, clearly marked links between network equipment and combine with proper cable management to reduce strain and interference.
