ACT Blue 20 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Blue 20m U/UTP CAT6 Snagless RJ45 patch cable features full copper conductors and meets ANSI/TIA-568-C2-1 performance requirements. It is designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured copper networks and is compatible with CPR Euroclass Eca. The cable has snagless RJ45 connectors, gold-plated contacts and a 20 m length, providing a stable physical link for switches, routers and other active devices. Using full copper conductors also makes this cable suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.

Advantages

Full copper conductors ensure consistent conductivity and lower resistance compared with alternatives that use copper-clad materials. Compliance with ANSI/TIA-568-C2-1 and CPR Euroclass Eca provides predictable performance and basic fire-safety classification. Snagless RJ45 connectors reduce the risk of latch damage during installation, while gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and minimize signal loss over time. The 20 m length offers flexibility for linking equipment across larger racks or rooms.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office and data‑cabinet environments
• High-speed Ethernet networks up to CAT6 performance
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as IP phones and access points
• Temporary or permanent cabling runs where a 20 m length is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded)
• Category: CAT6 (meets ANSI/TIA-568-C2-1)
• Conductor: full copper
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, snagless
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Colour: Blue
• CPR Euroclass: Eca

How to use

Route the cable between the two network devices, avoiding sharp bends and sources of electrical interference. Insert the RJ45 connectors fully into the device ports until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. For rack installations, use cable management to support the cable along its length and prevent strain on the connectors. Test the link with a cable tester or network diagnostic tool to verify continuity and performance after installation.

Recommendations

Use ACT full-copper CAT6 patch cables for PoE deployments and where sustained, standards-compliant copper performance is required; avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines to reduce interference.
