ACT geel 0,5 meter U/UTP CAT6-patchkabel met RJ45-stekkers

The ACT Yellow 0.5m U/UTP CAT6 RJ45 patch cable is a short networking cable designed for reliable connections between devices located close together. It supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) cabling technology and uses U/UTP (unshielded/overall unshielded twisted pair) construction to provide consistent signal quality. Both ends are fitted with RJ45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts to improve conductivity and resist corrosion. The cable is 0.5 meters long and finished in yellow for easy identification in network installations.

Advantages

This CAT6 patch cable offers gigabit-capable performance suitable for typical office and home networks while minimizing crosstalk through its twisted-pair design. The gold-plated RJ45 contacts help maintain low contact resistance and reliable data transfer. The short 0.5 m length reduces excess cable slack and clutter in patch panels and between closely positioned devices. The yellow jacket provides clear visual identification for organized cabling and quick troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels or nearby ports
• Linking desktop computers or workstations to local network outlets
• Short-distance connections in server racks or telecommunications cabinets
• Temporary setups for testing network equipment or configurations

Key specifications

• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded overall, twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Color: yellow

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks into place, ensuring correct orientation of the clip to avoid accidental disconnection. Use the 0.5 m cable to connect devices located within close proximity, such as a switch and a patch panel or a computer and a wall outlet. After connection, verify link and activity LEDs on the devices to confirm a successful physical connection and then check network settings on the connected devices to ensure proper operation.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid sharp bends and kinks in the cable; maintain a gentle bend radius and avoid running the cable alongside high-power electrical lines. Use the yellow color to label or segregate network segments in patch panels, and choose this short CAT6 cable where minimal length is required to reduce clutter and signal reflections.
