ACT Red 0.5 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable component level with RJ45 connectors

Patch Cable ACT Red 0.5m U/UTP CAT6 with RJ45 Connectors is a 0.5 metre U/UTP category 6 patch cable with RJ‑45 connectors and 24 AWG conductors. The cable jacket is PVC and the contacts are plated with 50 µin gold. The red RAL 3031 colour provides clear visual identification for short network connections in home or office environments.

Advantages

The CAT6 U/UTP construction supports high‑speed data transmission for typical Ethernet applications. Gold‑plated contacts (50 µin) improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The compact 0.5 m length reduces excess cable clutter and is suitable for patching between closely located ports. PVC sheath offers standard mechanical protection and flexibility.

Suitable for

• Patching between adjacent Ethernet ports in network racks or patch panels
• Short connections behind desks, switches or routers
• Color‑coded cabling schemes for easy identification

How to use

Insert each RJ‑45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks. Use the 0.5 m patch cable to connect devices such as switches, patch panels, routers or wall ports located close to each other. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends near the connector ends to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable length appropriate for the application (this 0.5 m cable is intended for short patch connections). Avoid running the cable parallel to high‑power electrical lines and maintain bend radii greater than the cable diameter to prevent signal degradation.
