ACT zwart 20 meter U/UTP CAT6 patchkabel met RJ45-stekkers

The ACT Black 20 meter U/UTP CAT6 IB8920 patch cable is a 20 m network cable designed for structured Ethernet connections. It uses the Cat6 standard and dual RJ-45 connectors to provide reliable data transmission for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. The cable is black and constructed with U/UTP topology to reduce external electromagnetic interference while maintaining flexibility for installation in both home and office environments.

Advantages

This Cat6 patch cable features gold-plated RJ-45 connectors that improve contact reliability and reduce corrosion over time. The U/UTP design helps limit crosstalk and external interference without requiring individual foil shielding, offering a balance between performance and ease of handling. At 20 meters length, the cable covers longer runs between networking equipment while maintaining the Cat6 performance level suitable for gigabit Ethernet.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels within local area networks
• Wiring desktop computers, IP phones and networked printers
• Home network setups where a 20 m run is required
• Office cabling for workstations and small server rooms

Key specifications

• Cable length: 20 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Category: Cat6
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded overall, unshielded pairs)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector fully into the corresponding network ports on devices such as switches, routers, patch panels or computers until the latch engages. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and high-interference sources (large electric motors, fluorescent ballast, or unshielded power cabling) to preserve signal integrity. For cross-room runs, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors and maintain a neat installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance use the ACT Cat6 patch cable within standard Ethernet distance recommendations and avoid exceeding maximum channel lengths when combined with other cable segments. Test connections with network diagnostic tools after installation to confirm gigabit link speed and signal stability.
