ACT Red 20 meter U/UTP CAT6A patch cable with RJ45 connectors

ACT Patch Cable Red 20 meter U/UTP CAT6A (model IB3720) is a 20 m Ethernet patch cable with full copper conductors and RJ-45 connectors plated with gold for consistent signal transmission. The cable meets CAT6A performance requirements and ANSI/TIA568-C2-1 standards, providing a structured copper connection suitable for high-speed 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. Its U/UTP design reduces external interference, and the cable is CPR Euroclass Eca compatible.

Advantages

The cable uses full copper conductors to ensure reliable conductivity and is suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors improve contact quality and reduce corrosion. Compliance with ANSI/TIA568-C2-1 and CAT6A specifications ensures stable performance across long operating periods, while U/UTP construction minimizes electromagnetic interference.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet networks (10/100/1000Base-T)
• PoE devices such as IP phones, cameras, and access points
• Structured copper LAN cabling in offices and homes
• Patch panel and switch connections

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to a network switch, router or patch panel and the other end to the target device (PC, PoE camera, IP phone, etc.). Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; maintain bend radius recommended for Ethernet cables to preserve signal integrity. For installations in racks or trunking, use cable management to prevent excessive tension.

Recommendations

Use ACT full-copper CAT6A patch cables for PoE applications and critical network links; avoid mixing with cables that have copper-clad or inferior conductors to maintain performance and PoE reliability.
