ACT Red 1 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Red 1 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors is a single-meter network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in home, office, and data center environments. The cable supports Cat6 performance for high-speed data transmission and uses U/UTP construction to reduce external interference. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide stable signal transfer and corrosion resistance, while the bright red jacket makes cable identification simple in dense cabling setups.

Advantages

This Cat6 patch cable provides consistent signal integrity for gigabit Ethernet and common LAN applications. The U/UTP design minimizes electromagnetic interference without requiring foil shielding around individual pairs, and the gold-plated connectors improve contact quality and reduce oxidation over time. Its 1 meter length is convenient for short runs between patch panels, switches, routers, and network devices, and the colored jacket aids visual organization and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network devices in LAN and SOHO environments
• Short patch runs within racks, cabinets, and desktop setups
• Structured cabling where Cat6 performance is required for gigabit Ethernet

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (suitable for gigabit Ethernet)
• Length: 1 meter
• Conductor type: stranded copper suitable for patch cords
• Shielding: U/UTP (overall unshielded with unshielded pairs; minimized external interference)
• Connector: RJ45 with gold-plated contacts
• Jacket color: red for easy identification
• Typical applications: 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until the latch clicks into place. Use the cable for connections between network equipment such as switches, patch panels, routers and desktop computers. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and kinks and keep the cable run within recommended lengths for patch cords. When removing the cable, depress the connector latch before pulling to avoid damaging the clip.

Recommendations

For optimal network performance, use this Cat6 patch cable for short interconnects within racks or workstations and pair it with properly rated network equipment. Avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference, and label both ends if used in complex installations to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
