ACT Black 5 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Black 5 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors is a shieldless twisted-pair network cable designed for fast Ethernet and gigabit applications. With a 5 m length and a sleek black jacket, it provides a reliable link between network devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and wall outlets. The cable uses CAT6 wiring and gold-plated RJ45 plugs to support consistent signal transmission and reduced contact resistance.

Advantages

This U/UTP CAT6 cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) cabling technology, enabling gigabit data transfer where infrastructure permits. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors improve conductivity and contact durability. The 5 m length offers flexibility for typical office or home layouts without excessive slack. The black exterior provides a discreet appearance for visible cabling runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Linking patch panels to network devices in a rack
• Home networking between modem/router and gaming consoles or smart TVs
• Office desktop to wall outlet cabling for wired LAN access

Key specifications

• Cabling category: CAT6 (unshielded, U/UTP)
• Supported standards: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 5 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of the source device (for example, a router or switch) and the other connector into the destination device (for example, a computer or access point). Ensure connectors click into place and that cable routing avoids sharp bends and tight kinks. For best signal integrity, keep the cable clear of high-voltage power lines and large electromagnetic sources.

Recommendations

Use this CAT6 patch cable for horizontal and short-link connections within typical LAN environments. Avoid excessive bending radii and do not subject the cable to repeated heavy mechanical stress. For backbone runs or environments with strong electromagnetic interference, consider shielded or higher-category cabling instead.
