Hypertec 243750-HY Network Cable Red 5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Hypertec 243750-HY Red 5m Cat6 U/UTP networking cable is a 5‑meter Ethernet lead designed to provide reliable wired connections for home and office networks. Built to Cat6 specification with U/UTP construction and fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the cable supports higher data transfer rates and stable signal performance over short to medium distances. Its red jacket makes it easy to identify in patch panels and cable runs while delivering standard Cat6 performance for common networking devices.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat6 performance with U/UTP construction to reduce external interference and maintain consistent data throughput for typical LAN applications. Its RJ-45 terminations ensure broad compatibility with routers, switches, network cards and PoE devices. The distinctive red colour simplifies cable management and rapid identification among multiple connections without affecting signal integrity.

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the router, switch or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated until you hear a click to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinching; maintain recommended separation from power cables to minimise potential interference. For best performance, keep the cable within typical Cat6 length recommendations for the intended application.

Recommendations

Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if the jacket or plug is compromised. For fixed installations, label each end to match your network documentation and avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage lines. If higher shielding or longer-distance performance is required, consider shielded or higher-category alternatives appropriate for the environment.
