ACT Grey 0.25 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Grey 0.25m U/UTP CAT6 RJ45 patch cable is a short, reliable network cable designed for close-proximity connections between devices. It supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) Ethernet speeds and uses RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain consistent signal integrity. The U/UTP design reduces external interference while the compact 0.25 meter length keeps installations tidy in dense rack or desktop environments. Its neutral grey jacket matches professional and home networking setups.

Advantages

This CAT6 patch cable delivers gigabit-capable transmission suitable for high-speed LAN links over short distances. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure low contact resistance and improved corrosion resistance for long-term reliability. The U/UTP construction offers basic shielding against electromagnetic interference without adding bulk, and the short 0.25 m length minimizes cable clutter and signal attenuation for local connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in racks where ports are adjacent
• Short links between desktop PCs, VoIP phones and network wall outlets
• Linking network equipment in compact server cabinets or home lab setups

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.25 m
• Category: CAT6 (suitable for Gigabit Ethernet)
• Shielding type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall unshielded jacket)
• Connectors: RJ45 to RJ45 with gold-plated contacts
• Supported standards: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Color: Grey

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of the first device and the other connector into the corresponding port of the second device until the latch clicks. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for the intended network speed. Use the 0.25 m cable for direct, short-distance connections where minimal slack is required. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and route the cable to prevent mechanical strain.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT6 patch cable for short, direct connections within racks or between closely positioned devices. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended lengths. Periodically inspect connector contacts for debris and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage.
