International Connectors and Cable ICPCSX01OR Patch Cord

Overview

The International Connectors and Cable ICPCSX01OR is a 1-foot Category 6A U/FTP patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling systems. Its individual pair shielding (U/FTP) minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring signal integrity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The low-profile, snag-free strain relief connectors simplify installation in dense rack environments and prevent cable damage during connection and disconnection. This 10-piece value pack in orange is ideal for segmenting network runs or identifying specific connections within a data center or office network.

Compatibility

This Cat6A U/FTP patch cord is compatible with all standard networking equipment requiring RJ45 connectors, including switches, routers, servers, patch panels, and workstations. It supports 10/100/1000/10GBASE-T Ethernet standards, making it suitable for use with 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. It is also backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 infrastructure, though performance will be limited by the lower category rating.

Installation Notes

The snag-free strain relief boots protect the cable termination and prevent accidental disconnections. The low-profile design is critical for high-density installations where space is at a premium, allowing for easier routing and management of cables within server racks and network cabinets. Ensure the cable is routed away from high-power electrical sources to further mitigate potential EMI.
