ACT Red 10 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable component level with RJ45 connectors

ACT Red 10 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors provides a 10 m connection for home and office networks. The cable uses AWG24 conductors, a U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) CAT6 design to reduce interference, PVC sheath and 50 µ gold-plated contacts in the RJ45 plugs. The red RAL 3031 colouring helps identify runs in dense cabling environments.

Advantages

The patch cable offers stable Gigabit-capable transmission thanks to CAT6 specification and AWG24 conductors. Gold-plated 50 µ contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The U/UTP construction balances noise reduction and flexibility, while the PVC sheath provides mechanical protection for everyday installation and handling.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within LANs
• Office and home network patching
• Patch panels and rack-mounted network equipment
• Situations requiring colour-coded cabling for easier identification

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling; maintain bend radius recommended for structured cabling to preserve signal quality.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable for Gigabit Ethernet or lower-speed connections within the same wiring closet or room. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and high temperatures; do not run parallel to high-voltage power lines for long distances to minimise potential interference.
