CAT6 Ethernet Network Cable - 0.25m Red

This 0.25 meter CAT6 ethernet cable delivers reliable Gigabit network connectivity with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. Built with copper UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction and moulded boots for enhanced durability, this short patch cable is ideal for connecting devices in close proximity within network cabinets, desks, or entertainment centers.

Technical Specifications

Category 6 cable, commonly referred to as Cat-6, is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocols that are backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards. Compared with Cat-5 and Cat-5e, Cat-6 features more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise. The cable standard provides performance of up to 250 MHz.

Performance and Compatibility

This CAT6 cable supports data transfer speeds up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit) and frequencies up to 250 MHz, making it suitable for high-speed network applications. The 24AWG copper conductors ensure consistent signal integrity across the short 25cm length, while the UTP design provides a cost-effective solution for most standard networking environments.

Construction and Durability

The moulded boot design protects the RJ45 connector termination points from damage during installation and daily use. This construction method creates a seamless connection between the cable jacket and connector housing, reducing strain on the internal wiring and extending cable lifespan. The red jacket color aids in cable management and network organization, allowing quick visual identification in multi-cable installations.

Certifications and Standards Compliance

This patch cable meets multiple international standards including ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50288, and TIA/EIA-563-B.2-1, ensuring compatibility with global networking infrastructure. The UL CMH certification (E164469-F3) and ETL/3P verification confirm the cable meets safety and performance requirements for commercial and residential installations.

Applications

The 0.25m length makes this cable particularly useful for short-distance connections between network switches and patch panels, connecting devices within server racks, linking routers to modems, or connecting computers to nearby wall outlets. The compact length minimizes cable clutter while maintaining full CAT6 performance capabilities.
