DSIT CAT6a U/UTP 100% Copper Network Patch Cable, 0.15 m, Red (DC-U6A5-001)

In cramped patch panels and dense server racks, every centimetre counts. The DSIT CAT6a U/UTP network cable at just 0.15 metres delivers a clean, short link between adjacent ports without excess slack. Network administrators and data centre technicians rely on this red patch lead to keep connections tidy and signal quality high, even in tight spaces.

Why choose it

This patch cable is built for high-density patching where a standard 0.5 m or 1 m cable would create unnecessary loops. The 100% copper conductors ensure superior conductivity and lower resistance compared to copper-clad aluminium (CCA), reducing signal loss and heat buildup. The stranded design offers flexibility for frequent re-patching, while the gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain reliable connections over time. With CAT6a performance, it supports 10 Gigabit speeds up to 500 MHz, making it future-proof for demanding network environments.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting adjacent ports on a patch panel or switch in data centres
• Short links between network devices in server cabinets
• High-speed LAN connections for workstations, NAS, and IP cameras
• Backbone patching in structured cabling systems
• Temporary test setups requiring a very short, high-performance cable

Good to know

The U/UTP construction means no overall foil or braid shielding, which is suitable for most indoor environments with low electromagnetic interference. The red jacket provides easy identification for specific VLANs, uplinks, or critical connections. Backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks, this cable integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure while offering headroom for upgrades. The 0.15 m length is measured end-to-end including connectors, ideal for ultra-short patch runs.
