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

ACT patch cables feature full copper conductors and meet ANSI/TIA568-C2-1 performance requirements. The ACT Brown 0.5m U/UTP CAT6 snagless RJ45 patch cable provides reliable CAT6 performance for short connections, with gold-plated contacts and a compact 0.5 m length that reduces cable clutter while maintaining stable data transmission. The cable is suitable for networks that require full-copper conductors and complies with CPR Euroclass: Eca.

Advantages

The cable uses full copper conductors for consistent signal quality and is manufactured to international standards to ensure compatibility with active network devices. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the clip during installation and gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability. Its short 0.5 m length is practical for patch panels and closely spaced equipment, and the brown jacket allows easy colour-coding of connections.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting switches, patch panels and network interfaces at close range
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications requiring full copper conductors
• Desk-to-wall or rack-to-rack short links in offices and server rooms
• Colour-coded cable management and small patching setups

Key specifications

• Standard: U/UTP CAT6
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, snagless
• Conductors: full copper
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Colour: Brown
• Compliance: ANSI/TIA568-C2-1; CPR Euroclass: Eca

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks. For patch panel or switch installations, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and strain on the connectors. Use the 0.5 m length for short-distance links between adjacent devices to minimise excess cabling. Inspect connectors for secure seating before powering devices, especially when used with PoE.

Recommendations

For PoE applications and high-speed data links, use ACT patch cables with full copper conductors and avoid mixing with cables that have copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors. Keep bend radius within recommended limits and use colour-coding to simplify maintenance.
