Intellinet 342209 Cat 6 Patch Cord 50 Feet Red

Product Description

The INTELLINET 342209 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 runs 15 meters (50 feet) and is finished in red for easy circuit identification. CAT 6 cabling supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with CAT 5e infrastructure. The red jacket is commonly used in color-coded patching schemes to distinguish traffic types, zones, or priority circuits. Low-voltage network technicians, IT infrastructure installers, and data center technicians are the primary trades that deploy this cable.

This patch cord is suited for connecting network switches, patch panels, routers, servers, and end-user devices in structured cabling environments. The 50-foot length covers longer cross-room or inter-rack runs where shorter cables fall short. Its color-coded red jacket makes it a practical choice for environments that rely on visual cable management to track network segments or flag specific connections.

Key Features

• Category 6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth network applications
• RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male termination on both ends for standard patch point connections
• 15 meters (50 feet) length suits longer runs between racks or across rooms
• Red jacket enables color-coded cable management and easy circuit identification
• Backward compatible with CAT 5e and CAT 5 infrastructure

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CAT 6 RJ-45 patch cord compatible with CAT 6, CAT 5e, and CAT 5 network switches, patch panels, routers, and other devices equipped with RJ-45 ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage network technicians or IT infrastructure professionals. Route cables away from high-voltage conduit and sources of electromagnetic interference per TIA-568 and NEC Article 800 guidelines for communications wiring. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as these can degrade signal performance. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware since the patch cord arrives factory-terminated.
