ACT harmaa 0,5 metrin U/UTP CAT6 verkkokaapeli RJ45-liittimillä

The ACT Grey 0.5m U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors is a short Ethernet cable engineered for reliable copper networking between nearby devices. With a 0.5 meter length and CAT6 performance, the cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) data rates and is fitted with RJ45 plugs featuring gold-plated contacts to maintain consistent signal transfer. The cable's U/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference by pairing twisted conductors without an overall foil, providing stable connections in office racks, workstations, and home networking setups.

Advantages

The compact 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable clutter and is suitable for connecting switches, patch panels, routers and devices in close proximity. CAT6 specification ensures capacity for gigabit Ethernet while RJ45 gold-plated contacts help resist corrosion and improve contact reliability. The grey sheath offers a neutral appearance that integrates with standard network installations and facilitates neat cable management.

Suitable for

• Short connections between switch and patch panel in a rack
• Linking desktop PCs, VoIP phones and networked printers to nearby ports
• Home router to modem or local network device connections
• Temporary test and diagnostic connections in IT maintenance

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Cabling standard: CAT6
• Supported speeds: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Connector type: RJ45 – both ends
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Cable construction: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with unshielded overall)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network port of the source device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other RJ45 plug to the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure physical connection. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension in the cable; maintain a gentle bend radius and route the cable to prevent pinching or repeated flexing.

Recommendations

Use this short CAT6 patch cable for tidy, high-performance connections within racks or at workstations where devices are closely positioned. Avoid routing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines for long runs to limit potential interference, and replace the cable if contacts or the jacket become visibly damaged.
