Patch Cable ACT CAT6A U/UTP PVC 305m Yellow

The ACT CAT6A U/UTP PVC patch cable is a 305 m bulk cable designed for structured cabling installations. Featuring unshielded twisted pairs (U/UTP) and a PVC jacket, this cable is intended for high-speed Ethernet networks where consistent performance and simple identification are required. The yellow outer sheath provides clear visual identification for patch panels, horizontal runs, or backbone cabling in residential and commercial environments.

Advantages

This cable supports the higher frequency and bandwidth requirements of Category 6A installations, offering improved alien crosstalk performance compared with lower-category cables. The U/UTP design simplifies grounding and reduces the need for additional shielding in typical LAN environments. The PVC jacket balances flexibility and durability for standard indoor deployments, while the 305 m spool reduces the number of joins and terminations in long runs.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet LANs and high‑speed network backbones
• Horizontal cabling in office or residential buildings
• Patch panels, switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections
• Environments requiring color-coded cable identification

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6A (CAT6A)
• Conductor configuration: 4 unshielded twisted pairs (U/UTP)
• Jacket material: PVC suitable for indoor use
• Length: 305 meters on a single spool
• Nominal use: Ethernet networking up to 10 Gbps at appropriate channel distances
• Outer color: Yellow for easy identification

How to use

Measure the required run and cut an appropriate length from the 305 m spool. Strip the jacket and maintain pair untwist limits when terminating to keystone jacks, RJ45 plugs, or patch panels according to T568A or T568B wiring standards. Use proper cable management and avoid sharp bends or crush points; maintain recommended bend radius and separation from high-voltage power cables to minimize interference. Test each terminated link with a certified cable tester to verify continuity, pair integrity, and performance parameters before putting the network into service.

Usage recommendations

Install indoors in dry, temperature-controlled spaces. Use for horizontal and backbone runs where a PVC jacket is acceptable; if plenum or riser-rated cable is required, select an appropriate jacket material. For long cable runs and high-density installations, plan pathways and labeling to take advantage of the yellow color for easy identification and troubleshooting.
