ACT Black 2 meter U/UTP CAT6A patch cable cross with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Black 2 meter U/UTP CAT6A cross patch cable with RJ45 connectors is a network patch lead intended for high-speed wired connections. It supports data rates up to 10 Gbps and uses U/UTP CAT6A cabling to reduce external interference. The cable is fitted with gold-plated RJ45 connectors for improved signal contact and reliability, and its 2 meter length provides flexible placement for home or office network setups.

Advantages

This CAT6A U/UTP patch cable offers 10 Gbps performance suitable for demanding network traffic while maintaining compatibility with standard RJ45 ports. The U/UTP construction helps limit electromagnetic interference in typical LAN environments. Gold-plated contacts on both RJ45 connectors provide corrosion resistance and stable signal transmission. The 2 m length balances reach and cable management, and the cable's flexibility facilitates straightforward installation in patch panels, switches, routers, or workstations.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and network switches within home or office LANs
• Linking patch panels and network racks in small server rooms
• Temporary or permanent connections between routers and networked devices

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A U/UTP
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Cabling standard: compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T(X)

How to use

To use the ACT Black 2 m CAT6A patch cable, insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other connector into the corresponding port on your switch, router, patch panel or modem. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. For cross connections, confirm the connected devices support the intended link configuration; many modern devices auto-negotiate link polarity. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension to preserve performance.

Recommendations

Place the cable away from high-voltage power lines and large electromagnetic sources to minimize interference. For optimal longevity, avoid kinking the cable, maintain bend radii consistent with CAT6A cable handling, and use proper strain relief where connectors meet equipment.
