DSIT CAT6 Network Patch Cable U/UTP 0.50 m Red 100% Copper (DC-65-005)

When a network technician needs a short, dependable link between a patch panel and a switch in a cramped rack, this 0.5-meter red cable keeps things tidy and fast. Its stranded 100% copper conductors and CAT6 rating carry 10 Gigabit traffic up to 250 MHz without the bulk of longer runs.

Why choose it

Short patch cables often get overlooked, but a properly made 0.5-metre link eliminates excess slack and signal reflections. The pure copper conductors ensure full PoE capability and lower resistance compared to copper-clad aluminium, while the snagless design protects the locking tabs during frequent moves.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting servers to top-of-rack switches in dense cabinets
• Linking patch panels to network equipment in structured cabling
• Organising short runs between routers, modems, and wall outlets
• Replacing worn or mismatched cables in home and office LANs

Good to know

The U/UTP construction is ideal for low-interference environments and keeps the cable flexible for tight bends. It is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, so it fits into existing installations without issues. The red jacket makes port identification quick in multi-colour setups.
