ACT Red 1 meter U/UTP CAT6A patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Red 1 meter U/UTP CAT6A patch cable is a 1 m network cable with RJ45 connectors designed to meet Cat6a performance. It uses full copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 contacts to provide low contact resistance and stable signal transmission. The cable follows U/UTP construction to reduce outside interference and is suitable for modern copper-based structured networks and PoE applications. The red jacket simplifies identification in patch panels and cabling runs while the cable complies with international material standards and CPR Euroclass Eca.

Advantages

This CAT6A U/UTP cable supports high-speed data transfer for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and is engineered to meet ANSI/TIA568-C2-1 performance requirements. Full copper conductors ensure reliable Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery and long-term stability. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors improve contact durability and signal consistency, while the U/UTP design minimizes electromagnetic interference for dependable operation in mixed-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and switch-to-device connections in LANs
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as IP phones and access points
• Server room and data cabinet horizontal cabling
• Desktop workstations, routers and network testing setups

How to use

Plug the gold-plated RJ45 connectors into compatible RJ45 ports on switches, routers, patch panels or end devices. Ensure connectors click into place to verify a secure mechanical connection. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it parallel and close to high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. For permanent installations, dress and secure the cable in cable management systems to maintain bend radius and prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable PoE performance, use this ACT patch cable alongside properly rated switches and verify that all network equipment follows the same grounding and installation standards. When planning cabling infrastructure, keep patch lengths appropriate for rack layouts and label red cables clearly to identify specific functions or VLANs in the network.
