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

ACT Purple 0.5m U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors provides a compact, flexible connection for Gigabit Ethernet networks. The cable supports up to 250 MHz bandwidth and a data transfer speed of 1 Gbps, with AWG 24 conductors and a PVC sheath. Its purple RAL 4005 colour helps organise and identify connections in racks and patch panels.

Advantages

The cable uses gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 plugs to ensure reliable signal transmission and reduced contact resistance. U/UTP CAT6 construction delivers performance suitable for Gigabit networks while remaining flexible for tight routing and neat cable management. The 0.5 m length is convenient for short patching between switches, patch panels and nearby devices.

Suitable for

• Short-distance patching in network cabinets and racks
• Connecting switches to patch panels
• Desk-level connections to modems, routers or wall outlets
• Environments where coloured cables improve organisation

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks to secure the connection. Use the 0.5 m patch cable for short links between equipment in the same cabinet or within a small workspace. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the cable to maintain signal integrity and prolong cable life.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference and maintain bend radius recommendations (do not sharply kink). Replace the cable if connectors show visible damage or if network errors appear.
