Short patch cable for tight links

This six-inch Cat 5E patch cord has RJ45 plugs on both ends and a snagless moulded boot that protects the latch during frequent changes. The stranded conductors keep the cable flexible for routing inside a rack or behind a desk. Red jacket colour helps identify the link at a glance.

Installers who need a very short, coloured jumper

The 6 in length only spans adjacent ports on the same panel or switch; it cannot reach between separate racks or from a wall outlet to a desktop. Buyers who need longer runs, shielded construction or a different jacket colour should choose another cable.

Cat 5E rating for standard Ethernet

The cable meets Category 5E performance specifications for typical network traffic. No higher category rating is claimed, so it is not suited for installations that require Cat 6 or Cat 6A certified bandwidth.

Questions about this item

What Cat standard does this 6-inch red patch cable meet, and what speed ceiling does that impose?

It is built to Cat 5E, which supports up to 1 Gbps Ethernet over the 6-inch run.

What physical space and connector clearance does the 6-inch length with snagless boots require?

The cable is only 6 inches long with molded snagless boots on both RJ45 ends, so it fits tight rack or panel spaces without lever interference.

How do you seat the snagless RJ45 plugs correctly, and what common mistake should be avoided?

Push each plug straight in until the tab clicks; do not rock or angle the boot, or the latch may not engage fully.
