International Connectors and Cable IC1078L6RD Cat 6 EZ Red Connector

Overview

The International Connectors and Cable IC1078L6RD is a Category 6 EZ-style connector designed for simplified, tool-less termination of solid or stranded copper Ethernet cable. This red connector is ideal for color-coding network runs, such as segmenting critical security camera feeds or VoIP phone lines, ensuring proper identification and simplifying maintenance in complex installations. Its EZ termination style reduces installation time and the potential for wiring errors compared to traditional punch-down connectors.

Compatibility

This connector is designed for use with standard Category 6 (Cat 6) solid or stranded copper UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Ethernet cable. It is compatible with standard RJ45 keystone jacks and patch panels that accept EZ-style connectors. It is suitable for use in 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet networks and is backward compatible with Cat 5e cabling infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The EZ termination design requires no specialized punch-down tools. Simply insert the wires into the color-coded channels and press down the integrated cap to seat and cut the wires simultaneously. Ensure cable jacket is stripped to the correct length (typically 1 inch) to maintain cable performance and strain relief. For optimal performance and to meet Cat 6 standards, use with solid conductor cable and ensure proper termination of all 8 conductors.
