DSIT CAT6 Network Cable U/UTP 0.25 m Red 100% Copper (DC-65-002)

In a server room where every millisecond counts, a patch cable that can keep up is non-negotiable. The DSIT CAT6 Network Cable delivers reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance in a compact 0.25-metre length, ideal for neat, high-density connections between switches, patch panels, and nearby devices. Its unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) design with 100% copper conductors ensures clean signal transmission, while the red jacket makes it easy to identify in a crowded rack.

Why choose it

This cable is built for performance and durability. The 100% copper conductors provide superior conductivity compared to copper-clad aluminium (CCA) alternatives, ensuring stable connections and reduced signal loss. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain a reliable link over time. The short 0.25-metre length minimises cable clutter and improves airflow in tight spaces, while the red colour aids in quick identification.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting servers to top-of-rack switches
• Patching between patch panels and network equipment
• Linking network devices in confined spaces
• Organising cable runs in data centres or wiring closets
• High-speed LAN connections for workstations or gaming consoles

Good to know

The cable is fully compliant with CAT6 specifications, supporting frequencies up to 250 MHz and data rates up to 10 Gbps over short distances. It is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 networks. The PVC jacket is flexible yet robust, suitable for indoor use. Please note that as a U/UTP cable, it is unshielded and best used in environments without high electromagnetic interference.
