Hypertec 243740-HY Network Cable Red 1.5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Hypertec 243740-HY Red 1.5m Cat6 U/UTP is a 1.5 metre networking cable designed to support Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data connections. The cable follows the Cat6 standard with U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall unshielded jacket) construction and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends to ensure straightforward plug-and-play installation in switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices. The red jacket helps with visual identification and cable management in racks and workspaces.

Advantages

This Cat6 U/UTP cable provides reliable transmission performance for LAN environments and is suitable for common office and home network layouts. The RJ-45 terminations are compatible with standard network ports and provide secure physical connection. The 1.5 m length is convenient for short runs between nearby devices while the coloured outer jacket simplifies organisation and fault-finding in multi-cable installations.

Key specifications

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other connector into the corresponding port on a router, switch or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and the clip locks into place for a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends or kinks and keep it away from sources of electrical interference. For rack installations, use cable ties or management panels to maintain tidy runs and clear labelling for identification.

Recommendations

Use this 1.5 m Cat6 cable for short, high-performance links where Cat6 bandwidth is required. Avoid bending the cable sharply at the connectors and keep it separate from high-voltage power lines to maintain optimal signal integrity. For longer runs or environments with significant electromagnetic interference, consider using shielded cable types or higher-category cabling as appropriate.
