Networking cable Telegärtner L00004A0181 Cat6 U/UTP patch cable RJ-45 to RJ-45 7.5 m Red

Telegärtner L00004A0181 is a Cat6 U/UTP patch cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends and a 7.5 m length. Designed for Ethernet networks, the cable supports Cat6 performance parameters for reliable data transmission between switches, routers, patch panels and end devices. The red outer jacket provides clear visual identification in structured cabling environments and helps separate circuits or functions in patching racks.

Advantages

This U/UTP Cat6 cable delivers standardized Category 6 performance suitable for fast Ethernet and gigabit connections within typical office and data center distances. The unshielded design simplifies installation in environments where shielding is not required, while the molded RJ-45 connectors enable consistent contact and easy plugging. The 7.5 m length offers flexibility when routing between network equipment located across desks, racks or server cabinets, and the red jacket improves traceability and fault location during maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office networks
• Linking desktop computers, IP phones and network printers to wall outlets or patch panels
• Temporary or permanent patching in server rooms and wiring closets
• Installations requiring clear color-coded cable identification

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded U/UTP cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling would be preferable. It may not meet specialized requirements for outdoor exposure, direct burial, or installations demanding enhanced flame or chemical resistance beyond standard indoor-rated jackets.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (Category 6 performance)
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs, overall unshielded)
• Connectors: RJ-45 plug on both ends, 8P8C
• Length: 7.5 m
• Conductor: copper (stranded, designed for patching use)
• Cable jacket color: red
• Intended use: indoor structured cabling and patching

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router, access point or wall outlet) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the other device or patch panel. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and tight kinks; leave service loops where appropriate for maintenance. For best performance, keep the cable length within Ethernet recommendations and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that Cat6 performance meets the network speed and distance requirements for your installation
• Decide if an unshielded cable is suitable for the electromagnetic environment where it will be installed
• Verify that a 7.5 m length and red color fit your routing and identification needs

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6 patch cable for standard indoor patching and device connections where Cat6 performance and visible color coding are beneficial. For environments with significant electrical noise or outdoor installations, consider shielded or specially rated cabling instead.
