ACT Black 2.0 meter U/UTP, CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors

ACT Black 2.0 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable provides a reliable wired connection for Ethernet networks. The cable is 2 m long and fitted with RJ45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts, supporting data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. Its U/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for stable signal transmission while the black jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily into office or home installations.

Advantages

The cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) cabling technology, enabling Gigabit Ethernet performance for typical network equipment. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance, helping to maintain consistent throughput. U/UTP shielding minimizes external interference without adding significant bulk, and the 2 m length balances desk-to-switch reach with tidy cable routing.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, laptops, or network printers to switches or routers
• Wiring patch panels in small office or home network racks
• Temporary setups for events, testing, or network troubleshooting
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Cabling standard: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Shielding: U/UTP (overall unshielded with screened twisted pairs)
• Maximum supported data rate: 1000 Mbit/s
• Product colour: Black

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the appropriate Ethernet port on your devices until the latch clicks. For best performance, avoid tightly bending the cable near the connectors and keep the cable run away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise such as large transformers or cordless phone bases. Use standard cable management—cable ties or clips—to secure the cable and maintain tidy routing across desks or inside racks.

Recommendations

For stable Gigabit connections, verify that both connected devices support 1000Base-T and that ports are configured for auto-negotiation. If extending runs beyond recommended lengths for reliable performance, consider using a longer Cat6 cable or installing an additional switch rather than adding multiple couplers. Inspect connectors periodically for dust or damage and replace the cable if connector latches are worn.
