ACT Grey 2.5 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Grey 2.5m U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is built for reliable gigabit networking. Featuring a 2.5 metre length and a neutral grey jacket, this U/UTP CAT6 cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) data rates and uses gold-plated contacts to maintain consistent signal transfer and corrosion resistance. Snagless connector boots protect the latch during installation and removal, while the flexible jacket provides easy routing between switches, routers, patch panels and network devices.

Advantages

This CAT6 patch cable combines U/UTP construction and high-quality RJ45 plugs to deliver stable performance for typical office and home networks. The gold-plated contacts reduce contact resistance and improve long-term signal integrity. The snagless design prevents accidental tab breakage during cable management, and the 2.5 m length strikes a balance between reach and tidy installation without excess cable slack. The grey colour helps keep installations visually neutral and consistent.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and workstations to network switches or routers
• Patch panel connections in small office and data closet environments
• Linking gaming consoles, smart TVs and media players to wired networks
• Temporary or semi-permanent cabling runs where a 2.5 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2.5 m
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X) (CAT6)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector features: snagless boot, gold-plated contacts

• Colour: Grey

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of the device and the other into the switch, router or patch panel port until the latch clicks. Ensure that connectors are fully seated and that the snagless boot is not obstructed. For best results, avoid sharp bends near the connector ends and do not place heavy objects on the cable. When routing the cable, follow existing cable management paths to maintain airflow and a tidy installation.

Recommendations

For reliable gigabit performance, use this CAT6 patch cable for horizontal and interconnect patching within the same room or cabinet. Avoid exposure to excessive heat, direct sunlight or liquids. Replace the cable if connectors become loose or contacts appear corroded. For long permanent runs or environments with significant electromagnetic interference, consider shielded cabling or structured cabling solutions.
