ACT Grey 2 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Grey 2 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable (IB8002) is a 2 m network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in home and office environments. It has AWG#24 conductors, a PVC sheath in RAL 7045 grey and supports frequencies up to 250 MHz. The cable comes with high-quality RJ45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts to ensure stable signal transmission and reduced corrosion.

Advantages

The cable supports CAT6 performance up to 250 MHz and provides solid build quality with AWG#24 conductors and a PVC outer sheath for mechanical protection. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts improve contact reliability and resistance to oxidation. The 2 m length balances reach and cable management for typical desk and rack setups, and the neutral grey (RAL 7045) colour integrates with professional installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in home or small office networks
• Patch panel to switch connections in server rooms and network racks
• Workstation and desk setups where a 2 m cable length is appropriate

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, pinching or sources of excessive heat that could damage the PVC sheath or affect signal quality.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this patch cable for links within the same room or rack and keep cable runs under recommended distances for copper Ethernet. Avoid running alongside high-voltage power lines to reduce interference and replace the cable if connectors or the sheath show visible damage.
