ACT Ivory 0.5 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

ACT Patch Cable Ivory 0.5m U/UTP CAT6 Snagless RJ45 is a 0.5 metre CAT6 patch cable with full copper conductors, U/UTP construction and snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts. The cable meets ANSI/TIA568-C2-1 performance requirements and is compatible with CPR Euroclass Eca, providing a reliable copper connection for high-speed data transfer and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.

Advantages

This ACT CAT6 patch cable uses full copper conductors to ensure consistent signal transmission and reliable PoE performance. The U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction reduces interference in typical network environments, while the snagless RJ45 design protects the connector latch during installation and removal. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office and home networks
• High-speed data transfer between networked devices
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) powered devices such as IP phones and access points
• Short patch runs and desk-side connections (0.5 m length)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to a network device (switch, router, patch panel or endpoint) and the other RJ45 connector to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. For PoE devices, verify that the switch or injector supports the required PoE class before powering the device.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and kinks in the cable and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources. Use the 0.5 m length for short patching runs near workstations or within patch cabinets; for longer runs select a longer CAT6 cable. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if the conductor or connector is compromised.
