Ethernet cable Zoy ZCR025R Cat 6 UTP CCA, red, 0.25 m

Zoy ZCR025R Cat 6 UTP CCA Ethernet cable, 0.25 m in red, is a short patch cable for connecting network devices over unshielded twisted pair. It supports Gigabit Ethernet signaling on Cat 6 wiring and is intended for short-range links between routers, switches, network interface cards and other Ethernet-enabled devices. The compact length and bright red jacket make it suitable for tidy, visible connections in crowded workstations, patch panels and small rack setups.

Advantages

The cable uses CCA (copper-clad aluminum) conductors within an unshielded twisted pair design to provide cost-effective data connectivity while maintaining the electrical characteristics required for Cat 6 performance over short distances. Its 0.25 m length minimizes excess cable clutter and improves airflow and accessibility in dense installations. The bright red outer jacket increases visibility for fast identification and straightforward cable management.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between routers, switches and PCs
• Interconnecting devices in patch panels and small network racks
• Temporary test setups and lab environments
• Home and office workstations where short, visible cabling is needed

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6 (up to Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate distances)
• Conductor type: Copper-clad aluminum (CCA)
• Pairing: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Jacket color: Red
• Connector type: 8P8C (RJ45) plug on each end

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into the Ethernet ports of the devices to be connected, ensuring the connectors fully seat with the latch engaged. Use this short cable where devices are close together to avoid excess slack; it can be routed along rack cable organizers or held in place with cable ties for a neat installation. Verify link lights on connected equipment and, if necessary, check network settings to confirm a negotiated connection at the expected speed.

Usage recommendations

For reliable Gigabit operation, use the cable for short-distance connections as intended; long runs may exceed the performance envelope of Cat 6 when using CCA conductors. Avoid sharp bends and repeated flexing near the connector to prevent damage to the conductors and maintain consistent signal integrity.
