Intellinet 342155 Cat 6 Patch Cord 5 Feet Red

Product Description

The INTELLINET 342155 is a Category 6 patch cord designed for structured cabling and network device connections in commercial and residential installations. Terminated with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, this cable provides a reliable copper link between network switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices. At 5 feet (1.5 meters) in length, it suits short runs at workstations, server racks, and telecommunications closets. CAT 6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with CAT 5e infrastructure. The red jacket aids in cable identification and color-coded patching schemes commonly used by network technicians.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment bay connections in both commercial data rooms and residential network installations. It is a standard choice for IT technicians, low-voltage cabling contractors, and network engineers making equipment-side connections at patch panels or switch ports. The 5-foot length fits tight rack environments where longer cables would create excess slack and airflow obstruction.

Key Features

• CAT 6 rated construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transfer
• RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male termination on both ends for standard network device connectivity
• 5-foot (1.5-meter) length suited for short equipment bay and workstation runs
• Red jacket for easy visual identification in color-coded cabling systems
• Backward compatible with CAT 5e patch panels and network infrastructure

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CAT 6 patch cord for use with RJ-45 ports on network switches, routers, patch panels, and other Ethernet-capable devices.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling contractors and IT technicians install this patch cord without special tools beyond standard cable management hardware. Ensure connectors are fully seated and latched at both ends before testing the link. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable, as exceeding the minimum bend radius can degrade CAT 6 performance. Installations in commercial environments should follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards where applicable.
