ACT Black 3 meter U/UTP CAT6A patch cable cross with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Black 3 meter U/UTP CAT6A patch cable with RJ45 connectors is designed for high-speed wired network connections in home and office environments. This cable follows the CAT6A specification and provides a 3 m reach for connecting switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices. The RJ45 plugs feature gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transfer and low contact resistance, while the U/UTP construction reduces external interference to maintain consistent data throughput.

Advantages

The cable supports CAT6A performance for higher bandwidth and improved alien crosstalk resistance compared with earlier categories. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure durable contact and stable conductivity. The 3 meter length offers flexibility for typical desktop and rack installations without excessive cable slack. U/UTP design helps limit electromagnetic interference in mixed-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops, and network printers to switches or routers
• Patch panels and structured cabling in small offices and server racks
• Home networking where higher data rates and reduced interference are required
• Temporary or permanent links between network equipment within a 3 m span

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A (augmented Category 6)
• Length: 3 m
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with overall unshielded jacket)
• Connectors: RJ45 to RJ45 with gold-plated contacts
• Supported cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Typical applications: Ethernet networking up to CAT6A performance levels

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks into place. For best performance, avoid sharp bends near the connector ends and keep the cable run separated from large electrical sources to minimize interference. When routing through racks or conduits, ensure there is adequate bend radius and strain relief at connection points. To disconnect, depress the connector latch and gently pull the plug straight out of the port.

Recommendations

Use this CAT6A patch cable for short to medium indoor connections where reliable Gigabit Ethernet or higher data rates are needed. For installations requiring additional shielding or outdoor use, select a cable with appropriate shielding or environmental ratings. Regularly inspect connectors for debris and ensure secure seating for consistent network performance.
