The red jacket simplifies colour-coding for network segmentation or priority connections.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting computers to wall outlets in offices or classrooms
• Patching between network switches and patch panels in server rooms
• Linking IP phones, printers, or access points over short distances
• Organising connections by colour in high-density racks
