Intellinet 342179 Cat 6 Patch Cord 10 Ft Red RJ-45

Product Description

The INTELLINET 342179 is a Category 6 patch cord designed for structured cabling and network device connections in professional installations. Terminated with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, this cable provides a reliable copper pathway between switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices. At 10 feet (3.0 meters) in length, it suits rack-to-device runs and desktop drops where a clean, color-coded layout matters. The red jacket allows easy visual identification in high-density environments, reducing tracing time during troubleshooting and moves-adds-changes.

This patch cord is suited for use in commercial and residential structured cabling systems. Network technicians, IT contractors, and low-voltage installers reach for this cable when terminating server racks, patch panel ports, or workstation connections. The 10-foot length works well in telecommunications rooms where panel-to-switch distances are modest. Red jacket color is commonly used to designate a specific VLAN, function, or security zone according to site color-coding standards.

Key Features

• Category 6 construction supports Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications up to specified channel distances
• RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male termination — no field termination required
• 10-foot (3.0-meter) length for rack and desktop runs
• Red jacket for color-coded cable management and quick visual identification
• Factory-terminated ends ensure consistent insertion loss and return loss performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental patch cord for use with Category 6 or backward-compatible Category 5e patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ-45 switch ports in standard structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage installers and network technicians install patch cords as the final connection segment in a structured cabling channel. No special tools are required for installation. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the cable minimum bend radius and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that the jacket deforms, as this degrades Category 6 performance. Follow TIA-568 guidelines for channel length limits when combining patch cord length with horizontal cable runs.
