ACT Red 3 meter U/UTP CAT6A patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Red 3 meter U/UTP CAT6A patch cable (IB3703) provides high-speed data transmission for copper Ethernet networks. Constructed with full copper conductors and terminating in RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts, the cable meets ANSI/TIA568-C2-1 performance requirements and is compatible with CPR Euroclass Eca. U/UTP shielding reduces external interference and supports reliable operation, while the 3 m length and red jacket make it suitable for organized patching in racks and workstations.

Advantages

Full copper conductors ensure low resistance and compatibility with Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices. Compliance with ANSI/TIA performance criteria and CPR Euroclass Eca provides predictable electrical behavior and conformity with European reaction-to-fire classification. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The U/UTP design helps minimise electromagnetic interference in typical office and data-centre environments.

Suitable for

• Patch connections in network racks and switches
• Desktop and workstation Ethernet connections
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as VoIP phones and access points
• Structured copper LAN installations requiring Cat6a performance

Key specifications

• Model: IB3703
• Category: Cat6a (10/100/1000Base-T(X))
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Conductor: Full copper
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with overall braid not present)
• Colour: Red
• CPR Euroclass: Eca

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router or PoE injector) and the other end to the target device (PC, VoIP phone, access point). Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain minimum bend radius recommended for Cat6a cabling. For rack installations, use cable management panels or ties to keep patch cords organized and to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use ACT full-copper Cat6a patch cables for PoE deployments and where stable, long-term copper network performance is required. Avoid running the cable parallel and close to significant power lines or strong EMI sources to preserve signal integrity.
