Vanco SCAT6-1RD Cat6 Slim Patch Cable 1 Foot Red

Product Description

The VANCO SCAT6-1RD is a slim-profile Cat6 patch cable in a 1-foot length with a red jacket. Cat6 cabling supports data transmission at up to 250 MHz and is used for structured wiring in commercial and residential low-voltage installations. The slim jacket design reduces cable bulk in high-density patch panels and switch closets, making it a practical choice in tight rack environments. Electricians and low-voltage technicians install this cable to connect network equipment, patch panels, and wall ports where standard-diameter cords would create airflow or routing problems.

This cable is suited for short patch runs in server rooms, telecommunications closets, and AV equipment racks. The 1-foot length is common for connecting adjacent ports on patch panels or for device-to-switch connections in compact network enclosures. The red jacket color supports color-coded cable management schemes, helping technicians quickly identify circuit groups or VLAN segments in dense installations.

Key Features

• Slim jacket profile reduces cable congestion in high-density rack and panel installations
• Cat6 construction supports 250 MHz bandwidth for Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 1-foot length suited for short patch runs between adjacent equipment
• Red jacket enables color-coded cable management and quick visual identification
• Sold as a single cable for precise quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 ports on network switches, routers, and access points.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and electricians install patch cables as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards. No tools are required for standard plug-in installation, though a patch panel labeling scheme should be established before populating a rack. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable to prevent signal degradation. Verify that both terminating ports are powered down or in a safe state before working in live rack environments.
