ACT Yellow 5 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Yellow 5 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors is a stranded AWG#24 copper cable with PVC sheath, designed for reliable data transmission in home and office networks. It features gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 plugs and a bright RAL 1023 yellow jacket for easy identification. The cable supports up to 250 MHz bandwidth and is suitable for standard Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed networking applications.

Advantages

This CAT6 U/UTP patch cable provides stable signal transmission with gold-plated RJ45 contacts to reduce contact resistance and corrosion. The AWG#24 conductors balance flexibility and electrical performance, while the PVC sheath offers basic mechanical protection and easy handling. The yellow color improves cable management and identification within patch panels and racks.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home and small office networks
• Patch panels and wall outlets where clear cable identification is needed
• Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and other Ethernet links up to the cable's bandwidth

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (computer, switch or router) and the other end into the corresponding port or patch panel. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling; maintain the recommended bend radius for Ethernet cables. For permanent installations, route the cable along cable management paths and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference.

Recommendations

Use this CAT6 patch cable for short to medium-length Ethernet connections up to 5 m. For environments requiring higher mechanical protection or outdoor use, select cables with enhanced jackets or shielding.
