ACT Blue 0.5 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Blue 0.5 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable is a short RJ45 network cable designed for reliable data connections in compact setups. It conforms to the CAT6 standard with a bandwidth of 250 MHz, uses AWG#24 conductors and a PVC sheath, and is finished in blue (RAL 5012). Gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide consistent signal transfer for typical Ethernet and LAN cabling needs.

Advantages

This 0.5 m U/UTP CAT6 patch cable offers CAT6 performance in a compact length suitable for patch panels, switches and close-proximity device connections. The cable’s AWG#24 conductors and gold-plated RJ45 connectors help maintain signal integrity, while the PVC sheath provides basic mechanical protection. The RAL 5012 blue colour allows easy cable identification in rack and office environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices in tight spaces (switch-to-switch, switch-to-patch panel)
• Short runs between computers and wall sockets
• Organised rack and cabinet patching where colour coding is used

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector into the device’s Ethernet port until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 0.5 m cable to link nearby network equipment such as switches, routers, patch panels or wall outlets. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector and keep it clear of heavy mechanical stress to maintain performance.

Recommendations

For best performance, deploy this CAT6 patch cable for short-distance connections within racks or workstations and avoid subjecting the cable to sustained tensile or crushing forces. Store in a dry environment and replace if connectors or sheath show visible damage.
