Mercodan Cat6 U/UTP Patch Cable, Red, 1.0m, Halogen-Free LSZH, 2x4xAWG24 CCA Round Network Cable

The Mercodan Cat6 U/UTP Patch Cable in red with a length of 1.0 meter is engineered to provide dependable data transmission for local area networks. Built with unshielded twisted pair technology, CCA conductors, and a 2x4xAWG24 specification, this round network cable ensures stable performance for everyday networking tasks. Its halogen-free LSZH jacket makes it a practical choice for safe indoor installations in residential and office environments where low smoke and zero halogen emissions are required during combustion.

Advantages

This network cable utilizes halogen-free LSZH materials, which significantly reduce toxic gas and smoke emissions in the event of a fire, contributing to higher safety standards in indoor spaces. The 1.0-meter length is ideal for short-distance connections, helping to minimize cable clutter behind desks, patch panels, or network switches. Its flexible round design allows for easy routing through tight spaces and cable management channels, while the bright red color helps with quick visual identification and organization within complex setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers and laptops to wall outlets or network switches
• Linking routers and modems in local area networks
• Patch panel connections in home and office server racks
• Short-distance network links in orderly cable management setups

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be ideal for outdoor installations or industrial environments that require specialized shielding against heavy electromagnetic interference. Additionally, the CCA conductors make it less suitable for Power over Ethernet applications that demand high electrical conductivity over long distances.

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6 U/UTP network patch cable
• Length: 1.0 meter
• Color: Red
• Conductor material: Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA)
• Conductor specification: 2x4xAWG24
• Cable shape: Round
• Jacket material: Halogen-free LSZH

How to use

To use the patch cable, insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device, such as a computer, printer, or network switch, and the other connector into the corresponding active port on a wall outlet, router, or patch panel. Ensure the locking tab on the connector clicks securely into place. To disconnect, gently press down on the plastic locking tab and pull the plug straight out without tugging on the cable itself.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 1.0-meter length is sufficient for your specific connection distance
• Check whether your network infrastructure requires unshielded U/UTP cables or shielded alternatives
• Confirm that CCA conductors meet the technical requirements of your intended application
• Ensure that halogen-free LSZH specifications align with your building safety regulations

Usage recommendations: Inspect the connectors and cable jacket periodically for signs of physical wear. Avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling forces, and pinching to maintain signal integrity and extend the lifespan of the network connection.
