# Get a Segment Instance

> **Note:** Ensure you have installed the [required package](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/cache/overview/#prerequisites) to use this SDK method.

A `segment` reference can be created using the following method which does not fire a server-side call. The `cache` reference used in the code snippet below is the [component instance](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/cache/get-cache-instance/).

> **Note:** If you wish to get the instance of a particular segment, then you need to pass the [segment ID](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/cache/implementation/#create-a-segment) as the parameter. If you don’t provide any segment ID, it will refer to the default segment.

```javascript
// Refer a Cache segment through the Segment ID
const cache = new Cache();
const segment = cache.segment();// Since no ID is passed here, it will refer to the default segment
```
