ACT Grey 20 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Grey 20 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable provides a 20 m connection solution for wired Ethernet networks. Equipped with RJ45 connectors plated in gold, this U/UTP CAT6 cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) transmission and is designed to maintain reliable high-speed data transfer with reduced external interference. Its grey jacket combines a professional appearance with flexibility suitable for home and office installations.

Advantages

This CAT6 patch cable offers consistent gigabit performance across 20 meters while the U/UTP design helps limit electromagnetic interference in typical network environments. Gold-plated RJ45 plugs improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance, and the flexible grey outer jacket allows easier routing through cable channels and around furniture. The cable's specification aligns with common Ethernet standards, making it compatible with switches, routers, and network interface cards that use 10/100/1000Base-T(X).

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers or workstations to network switches or routers
• Extending wired network connections in home or small office setups
• Linking networked devices such as printers, NAS drives, or access points
• Temporary cabling for events or workspaces where a 20 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 20 m
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with overall unshielded jacket)
• Product colour: Grey

How to use

Uncoil the cable and avoid sharp bends to preserve signal integrity. Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on devices such as switches, routers, or network sockets until the latch clicks into place. For optimal performance, keep the cable routed away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise such as large power transformers or fluorescent ballast fixtures. When disconnecting, press the connector latch and pull the plug straight out to avoid stress on the contacts and jacket.

Recommendations

For stable gigabit connections, use this CAT6 patch cable for runs up to 20 meters and pair it with compatible gigabit-capable networking equipment. Avoid tightly coiling the cable for extended periods and do not subject it to heavy mechanical strain. Store the cable loosely coiled and protected from direct sunlight and excessive moisture when not in use.
