ACT Yellow 1 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable component level with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Yellow 1 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors is a single-meter network cable designed for short-range connections. It uses U/UTP (unshielded) CAT6 construction with AWG24 conductors, PVC sheath and gold-plated (50 µ) contacts to ensure consistent signal transmission. The yellow RAL 1023 colour makes the cable easy to identify in cable bundles and patch panels.

Advantages

This CAT6 patch cable provides reliable Gigabit-capable data transmission for local connections and carries 50 µ gold-plated contacts to reduce corrosion and improve contact quality. The AWG24 conductors and standard RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network equipment. The PVC sheath offers basic mechanical protection for typical office and home environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within racks or desks
• Patch panels and wall outlets in small office or home networks
• Short-distance links where a 1 m cable length is sufficient

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the switch, router or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinching; for rack installations use cable management to keep connections organized. Replace the cable if you notice visible damage to the sheath or connectors.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m CAT6 patch cable for short, visible runs where colour coding helps identify connections. Avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-power electrical lines to reduce potential interference; for environments requiring extra protection or EMI immunity consider shielded cable variants.
