Why choose it

This cable combines premium materials with a compact length to reduce clutter and signal loss. The 100% copper stranded conductors ensure consistent performance even in tight bends, while the U/UTP design keeps the cable lightweight and flexible. The red jacket stands out in crowded racks, making cable management effortless. Whether you're setting up a home office, patching a data center, or connecting a PoE-powered device, this cable delivers reliable, high-speed connectivity without unnecessary bulk.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting computers to wall outlets in offices or homes
• Patching between switches and patch panels in server rooms
• Powering PoE devices like IP cameras or VoIP phones
• Short-run connections in structured cabling systems
• Color-coded network organization (red for specific VLANs or devices)

Good to know

The cable is not halogen-free, so it's best suited for standard indoor environments rather than plenum spaces. It operates reliably in temperatures from -20°C to 60°C. With a stranded conductor design, it's more flexible than solid-core cables, making it ideal for frequent moves or tight spaces. The 0.50-meter length is perfect for eliminating excess cable in high-density areas, reducing tangles and improving airflow in racks.
