ACT Black 10 meter U/UTP CAT6A patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Black 10 meter U/UTP CAT6A RJ45 patch cable is designed for high-speed Ethernet connections in residential and commercial networks. The cable uses full copper conductors and meets ANSI/TIA568-C2-1 performance requirements, ensuring stable transmission and compatibility with modern network devices. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors provide reliable contact and reduced signal loss, while the U/UTP construction minimizes external interference. The black jacket offers a discrete, professional appearance for structured cabling installations.

Advantages

Full copper conductors support consistent electrical performance and are suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Compliance with established performance standards delivers predictable signal integrity and reduced error rates. Gold-plated RJ45 plugs enhance connector durability and electrical conductivity. The U/UTP design helps limit electromagnetic interference without the need for additional shielding around each pair, balancing performance and flexibility.

Suitable for

• Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in office and home networks
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones, cameras and access points
• Patch panels, wall jacks and network switches in structured cabling systems
• Temporary and permanent horizontal cabling runs up to 10 meters

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A (supports high-frequency 500 MHz performance)
• Length: 10 meters
• Conductor material: solid full copper
• Connectors: RJ45 with gold-plated contacts
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded overall, unshielded pairs)
• Compliance: ANSI/TIA568-C2-1 performance requirements
• Fire classification: CPR Euroclass Eca

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router or modem) and the other plug to the endpoint device (computer, IP camera, printer or access point). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and avoid tight loops that may stress the conductor. For installations within patch panels or wall outlets, verify that the cable length and routing allow proper strain relief and do not exceed recommended bend radii.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable separated from power lines and large electrical equipment to minimize EMI. Use ACT full copper CAT6A patch cables for PoE-powered devices to ensure safe power delivery. Test links after installation with appropriate certification or testing tools when deploying in critical network segments.
