ACT Red 0.5 meter U/UTP CAT6A patch cable with RJ45 connectors

ACT Red 0.5 meter U/UTP CAT6A patch cable features full copper conductors and meets CAT6A performance requirements, providing reliable high-speed data transmission for structured copper networks. The cable is fitted with high-quality RJ-45 connectors with gold plating to ensure stable signal contact and is suitable for use in installations that follow ANSI/TIA-568-C2-1 performance criteria. The U/UTP construction reduces external interference while maintaining compatibility with CPR Euroclass Eca.

Advantages

The cable uses full copper conductors, which are important for dependable Power over Ethernet (PoE) operation and optimal electrical performance. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact quality and reduce signal loss. Compliance with recognized standards ensures predictable behavior within a well-structured copper data network and long-term stability when paired with reliable active devices.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in server rooms and network cabinets
• PoE devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and cameras
• High-speed data links requiring CAT6A performance over short distances
• Colour-coded cable management and identification

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the 0.5 m ACT CAT6A patch cable to the network device (switch, patch panel or NIC) and the other end to the target device (server, access point, IP camera or workstation). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure proper contact. Use the red colour to identify specific connections or zones within your cabling infrastructure.

Recommendations

For best results, route patch cables with gentle bends and avoid sharp kinks or prolonged compression. Use full copper CAT6A patch cables like this ACT model for PoE applications to prevent power-related failures. Keep cable lengths appropriate for short patch runs; for longer runs use in-wall rated cables or patch panels as required by installation standards.
