ACT Black 1.5 meter U/UTP CAT6A patch cable cross with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Black 1.5m U/UTP CAT6A Cross RJ45 patch cable is a 1.5 meter networking cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in home and office environments. It uses the CAT6A standard and U/UTP construction to reduce external interference while providing consistent signal integrity. Both ends terminate in standard RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to improve conductivity and connection durability. The cable supports common Ethernet cabling technologies and fits directly into patch panels, switches, routers and network ports that accept RJ45 connections.

Advantages

This cable provides CAT6A performance in a compact 1.5 m length, offering a balance between reach and cable management. The U/UTP design helps minimize electromagnetic interference without bulky overall shielding, and gold-plated RJ45 contacts offer improved contact reliability and lower contact resistance. The cross-wired (crossover) pinout is suitable for direct device-to-device connections where required.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within a desk or small rack where a 1.5 m cable is sufficient
• Direct device-to-device links that require a crossover cable
• Home and office networks requiring CAT6A performance for gigabit and multi-gigabit applications

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Cabling standard: CAT6A
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with unshielded overall)
• Connectors: RJ45 to RJ45 with gold-plated contacts
• Supported cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks. For direct device-to-device connections use this crossover cable where network equipment does not support automatic MDI/MDIX. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive tension; keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference for best performance. If connecting to patch panels or structured cabling, confirm port assignments before plugging to ensure correct network mapping.

Recommendations

Use the 1.5 m length to maintain tidy cabling in desktop or small-rack setups. When longer runs or additional shielding are required, select an appropriate length or a shielded cable variant. Periodically inspect connectors for debris or damage and replace the cable if physical wear affects performance.
