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

The ACT Yellow 1 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable (IB8801) is a 1 m network cable designed for wired Ethernet connections. It uses U/UTP construction with AWG 24 conductors, a PVC sheath and gold-plated RJ45 plugs, and conforms to the CAT6 standard with a bandwidth of 250 MHz. The bright yellow RAL 1023 jacket provides easy identification in cabling installations.

Advantages

This CAT6 patch cable provides support for high-speed data transmission up to the CAT6 specification and a bandwidth of 250 MHz. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors improve contact reliability and reduce corrosion. The AWG 24 conductors and PVC sheath offer a balance of signal integrity and mechanical protection in typical office or home environments. The yellow colour enhances visibility when tracing or organising cables.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in LAN installations
• Short-distance workstation or server connections (1 m)
• Structured cabling where colour-coded identification is required

Key specifications

• Standard: CAT6
• Length: 1 m
• Bandwidth: 250 MHz
• Conductor size: AWG 24
• Pair type: U/UTP (unshielded pairs, overall unshielded)
• Sheath material: PVC
• Connector: Gold-plated RJ45
• Colour: Yellow (RAL 1023)

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (switch, router or network card) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; secure with cable ties or organisers if necessary to maintain neat cabling.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended distances for copper Ethernet and avoid routing next to high-voltage power lines to reduce interference. Use the yellow colour for clear visual identification in mixed-colour installations.
