Intellinet 342131 Cat 6 Patch Cord 1.5 Feet Red

Product Description

The INTELLINET 342131 is a Category 6 patch cord designed for structured network wiring applications. It terminates in RJ-45 male connectors on both ends and spans 0.5 meters (1.5 feet) in length. The red jacket provides quick visual identification in dense patch panel environments, helping technicians trace connections and manage cable runs efficiently. CAT 6 construction supports data transmission up to 1 Gbps at 100 meters and is backward compatible with CAT 5e and CAT 5 installations. Network technicians, low-voltage installers, and IT infrastructure crews use this cord for short-run equipment connections at patch panels, switches, routers, and wall outlets.

This patch cord is suited for residential structured wiring closets, commercial server rooms, and light industrial network installations. Its short 1.5-foot length makes it ideal for rack-mount equipment connections where cable management space is limited. The red jacket color is commonly used to designate specific VLANs, uplink ports, or security segments in color-coded cabling standards, making it useful in organized enterprise and data center environments.

Key Features

• Category 6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transfer
• RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male termination for standard network device connections
• 1.5-foot length suits short rack-to-rack and patch panel runs
• Red jacket enables visual identification and color-coded cable management
• Backward compatible with CAT 5e and CAT 5 infrastructure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental patch cord for use with standard RJ-45 network ports across CAT 5, CAT 5e, and CAT 6 structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

This cord is installed by low-voltage network technicians or IT personnel and does not require specialty tools beyond a standard patch cord swap. No power shutdown is required for patch cord replacement on passive patch panels, though best practice is to follow site change-control procedures before modifying live network connections. Ensure connectors seat fully and the locking tab clicks into place to avoid intermittent connectivity. Cable runs should comply with TIA-568 structured cabling standards.
