Compact 2ft red Cat6 patch cord

This 2ft red Cat6 Ethernet cable uses 28AWG bare copper wire in an unshielded twisted pair construction. It is built for gigabit speeds and 100W Power over Ethernet in tight spaces. The slim UTP design fits dense racks, wall plates and patch panels where standard cables are too bulky. It targets installers and home users who need a short, flexible link for switches, routers or PoE devices.

Check connector spacing and cable routing

Verify that the 2ft length reaches between your two RJ45 ports without tension. The cable carries male RJ45 plugs on both ends, so each device must present a standard female jack. Confirm the equipment supports Cat6 performance and the PoE class you intend to use. Ensure the pathway allows the slim profile to bend cleanly around corners or through cable management rings.

Snagless boots and LSZH jacket for daily handling

Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion over repeated insertions. Snagless moulded boots protect the release tabs when pulling the cord through crowded trays. The low-smoke zero-halogen jacket meets LSZH safety requirements and stays flexible in confined routing. At 36% slimmer than typical Cat6 cables, it improves airflow in packed cabinets and reduces near-end crosstalk and return loss.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy any extra connectors or tools?

The package contains the single 2 ft red Cat6 patch cord with RJ45 plugs on both ends; no additional connectors or tools are required for a standard network connection.

Should I choose this 2 ft red version or a different length or colour for my rack?

Choose this 2 ft red cable when you need a short, colour-coded link in a crowded rack; select another length or colour only if the run is longer or your labelling scheme demands it.

What does the 1 Gbps and 100 W PoE rating mean once the cable is installed in my switch?

The cable will carry gigabit Ethernet traffic and deliver up to 100 W of Power over Ethernet to devices such as access points or cameras without needing a separate power lead.
