International Connectors and Cable ICPCSX05RD Patch Cord

Overview

The International Connectors and Cable ICPCSX05RD is a 10-pack of 5-foot CAT6A U/FTP patch cords designed for high-density network deployments where cable management is critical. The low-profile, snag-free strain relief design ensures easy installation and prevents accidental disconnections in environments like server racks, network closets, or within automated warehouse systems. This specific model, ICPCSX05RD, provides reliable data transmission for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications.

Compatibility

These CAT6A U/FTP patch cords are compatible with all standard networking equipment supporting Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, including switches, routers, servers, and network interface cards. They are suitable for use with network-attached storage (NAS) devices, IP cameras, and VoIP phones that require a robust network connection. The U/FTP (Unshielded Foiled Twisted Pair) construction offers enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) compared to unshielded cables, making them suitable for environments with significant electrical noise.

Installation Notes

The snag-free boot design simplifies insertion and removal from patch panels and network devices, preventing damage to the connector tab. The low-profile connector housing minimizes clearance requirements in high-density rack installations. For optimal performance, ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius (typically 4x cable diameter) and avoid sharp kinks. The red color coding aids in network identification and management.
