ACT Pink 15 meter U/UTP CAT6A patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Pink 15 meter U/UTP CAT6A IB2415 patch cable is a 15 m network lead designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. It uses unshielded U/UTP CAT6A cabling technology with snagless RJ-45 connectors and gold-plated contacts to maintain reliable signal transfer. The cable supports up to 10 Gbps data rates and is supplied in a distinct pink colour to make runs easy to identify in mixed-cable environments.

Advantages

The cable’s CAT6A specification provides improved bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category cables, enabling stable 10 Gbps performance for short- to medium-length links. Snagless RJ-45 connectors protect the connector clip during installation and removal, while gold-plated contacts ensure consistent electrical connection and resistance to corrosion. The 15 m length offers extended reach without additional patching hardware, and the pink jacket simplifies visual identification in racks or conduit.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, and servers within data racks and server rooms
• High-speed desktop or workstation connections requiring 10 Gbps over short to medium runs
• Visual cable management where coloured cables are used to distinguish networks or services
• Office or home networking where a longer patch lead is needed without using joiners

Key specifications

• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Length: 15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, snagless design
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: pink jacket
• Supported cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your switch, router or device and the other plug to the corresponding port on the connected equipment. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas with high electromagnetic interference. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and perform network tests or link status checks to confirm a stable connection at the expected speed.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force during installation, and keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large motors or unshielded power cables. Use the coloured jacket to separate network segments visually and replace any cable that shows visible damage to the jacket or connectors.
