ACT Brown 0.5 meter U/UTP CAT6A patch cable with RJ45 connectors

ACT Patch Cable Brown 0.5 m U/UTP CAT6A RJ45 is a short copper patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connectivity. The cable uses full copper conductors and meets ANSI/TIA568-C2-1 performance requirements. It features gold-plated RJ45 connectors and U/UTP construction suitable for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks; the brown jacket helps visually distinguish connections in mixed installations. The cable is compatible with CPR Euroclass Eca and is suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems when full copper conductors are required.

Advantages

The cable’s full copper conductors provide low resistance and reliable signal transmission, while compliance with ANSI/TIA568-C2-1 ensures predictable performance. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. U/UTP CAT6A construction reduces external interference for stable data rates. Short 0.5 m length minimizes excess cabling and clutter in patch panels and equipment racks.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, patch panels and servers
• Environments requiring PoE power delivery
• 10/100/1000Base-T(X) network ports
• Installations where cable colour coding is used for organization

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other to the corresponding port on a patch panel or endpoint. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. For rack or cabinet use, route the 0.5 m cable without sharp bends and avoid kinking; maintain proper bend radius recommended for Ethernet cables. Verify link lights on devices to confirm successful connection.

Recommendations

For PoE applications, always use cables with full copper conductors as in this ACT CAT6A cable; avoid cables with copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors. Use the short 0.5 m length for direct patching in racks and patch panels to reduce excess cable management and maintain signal integrity.
