Patch Cable RJ45 Cat6 UTP 250 MHz 1.00 m — INCA

INCA Cat6 UTP patch cable with RJ45 connectors, 1.00 m in yellow, is designed for horizontal and device-level network interconnections. The unshielded twisted pair design and Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz support Gigabit Ethernet links between switches, patch panels, routers and end devices in office, home and data center environments. The cable uses four twisted pairs with solid 0.57 mm conductors and polyolefin insulation; the jacket is standard yellow and the RJ45 plugs include strain-relief boots.

Advantages

This patch cable provides Cat6 performance rated to 250 MHz, enabling reliable 10/100/1000BASE-T transmission. Solid conductors and defined pair colour coding ensure stable connections and predictable electrical characteristics for horizontal cabling. The compact 1.00 m length reduces excess cable on patch panels and desks, while the yellow jacket improves visual identification in dense cabling runs. UTP construction keeps weight and cost down while remaining suitable for typical LAN environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within racks and workstations
• Patching between patch panels and network switches in horizontal cabling
• Short device-to-device links in offices, homes and small data centres

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded (UTP) cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling would be required. For runs longer than the specified length or for backbone and long-distance links, a longer, purpose-designed cable or fibre solution should be used. The 1.00 m length is specifically for short patching and may be too short for some installations.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.00 m
• Conductor type and diameter: solid, 0.57 mm
• Pairs and configuration: 4 twisted pairs, 8 conductors, polyolefin insulation
• Performance category: Cat6, up to 250 MHz
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male with strain-relief boots
• Construction: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Supported Ethernet: 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T
• Jacket colour: yellow
• Operating temperature: -20 to +50 °C; storage: -20 to +70 °C
• Bending radius: recommended 8× outer diameter (minimum 4× outer diameter)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device and the other to the switch, patch panel or router port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid placing it near sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For patch panels, use the 1.00 m length to maintain tidy cable management and reduce slack; if additional length is required, use cable management accessories to prevent strain.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for your installation (this product is 1.00 m)
• Whether UTP construction is acceptable or if shielded cable is needed for EMI-prone environments
• Compatibility with the network speed and device ports (supports Gigabit Ethernet)
• Colour coding needs for your cabling scheme (jacket is yellow)

Usage recommendations

Use this INCA Cat6 UTP RJ45 patch cable for short horizontal links and device patching where a 1.00 m yellow Cat6 cable provides clear identification and reliable Gigabit connectivity; avoid exposing the cable to excessive bending or strong interference sources to maintain performance.
