ACT Grey 4 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Grey 4 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable provides a shielded twisted-pair connection for reliable Gigabit Ethernet networking. Fitted with snagless RJ45 connectors and gold-plated contacts, the cable is designed to maintain signal integrity and ease of installation. With a length of 4 m and a neutral grey jacket, it fits office, data center and home networking environments where a tidy, professional appearance and consistent 1 Gbps performance are required.

Advantages

The U/UTP CAT6 construction reduces near-end crosstalk and minimizes external interference compared to unshielded alternatives, supporting stable data transfer at 10/100/1000Base-T(X) speeds. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the latch during routing and installation, while gold-plated contacts improve conductivity and resist corrosion for long-term reliability. The 4 meter length offers flexibility for typical patching between racks, wall outlets and network devices without excess cable slack.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting switches, patch panels and network ports in offices
• Home network connections between routers and computers
• Server room short-range patching and equipment interconnects
• Temporary or permanent workstation cabling where a clean grey cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable length: 4 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45 (snagless)
• Cabling standard: U/UTP, CAT6
• Supported network: 10/100/1000Base-T(X), up to 1 Gbps
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Color: Grey

How to use

Identify the network ports on your devices and insert each RJ45 connector until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points that could damage the internal pairs or degrade performance. For patch panel or switch installations, use the 4 m length to connect adjacent racks or wall-mounted ports; avoid stretching the cable to its mechanical limits. Confirm link status on connected devices to verify a 1 Gbps connection when supported by both endpoints.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable away from high-power electrical cables and strong EMI sources. Do not exceed the recommended bend radius or apply excessive tension. Periodically inspect connectors for dust or damage and replace cables that show visible wear or degraded link performance.
