ACT Black 10 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Black 10 meter U/UTP CAT6 RJ45 patch cable provides a straightforward solution for wired network connections. Constructed as an unshielded/overall screened (U/UTP) Category 6 cable, it supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps and uses standard RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain reliable signal transfer. The 10 m length and durable black jacket make this cable suitable for linking switches, routers, patch panels and endpoints in both home and office environments.

Advantages

This CAT6 patch cable combines reliable data throughput and physical durability. The U/UTP design reduces susceptibility to external interference while maintaining flexible handling and installation. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts improve conductivity and resist corrosion for stable connections over time. The 10 m reach accommodates common closet-to-desk and between-rack runs without the need for additional couplers.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and workstations to network switches or routers
• Linking network equipment in small office or home office environments
• Structured cabling within server rooms and patch panels for Gigabit Ethernet
• Gaming and streaming setups that require stable wired connections

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (U/UTP overall screened)
• Supported speeds: up to 1 Gbps (10/100/1000Base-T)
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Black
• Typical applications: Ethernet, LAN connections, patching

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (switch, router or wall socket) and the other into the target device (computer, console or access point). Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure physical connection. For optimal performance, avoid tight bending radii and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as large motors or unshielded power cables. When routing through cable trays or conduits, maintain gentle curves and allow slack to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this CAT6 U/UTP cable for standard Gigabit Ethernet runs up to 10 m. For runs passing near heavy electrical equipment or requiring additional protection, consider using fully shielded cable variants or route the cable to minimize exposure to interference. Inspect connectors periodically for wear and replace the cable if contacts or the jacket show damage.
